WSI 95+ Dark and inky, this beautiful 2013 is full of cassis, currant and dark chocolate aromas. The palate explodes with dark cherry, blackberry and rich spice, gradually opening into layers of violet, clove and cocoa nib. The chewy tannins and balanced acidity of this juicy, full-bodied wine offer excellent aging potential for collectors. Decanting is recommended for drinking in its youth. 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Malbec, 9% Petit Verdot 407 cases produced
This is a team that can’t be beat.
