Aged 10 months in 30% new French oak barrels and another 18 months in bottle prior to February 2021 release. · Moderate garnet color in the glass. Ooh la la aromas of dark red cherry, raspberry and spice. Mid-weight flavors replicate the aromas in a beautifully composed wine with perfect balance between fruit, tannin and acidity. The impeccable balance predicts age ability. Score: 94. Reviewed August 1, 2021
