THE WINE
Deep purple color. Aromas and flavors of melted toffee, dark berry compote, and spice with a bright, dry-yet-fruity medium-to-full body and a subtle, long plum, nuts, and leafy earth finish with earthy, fine tannins and moderate oak. A supple, sensual red Bordeaux with instant appeal and a long path of pleasure ahead.
