Our Tasting Note:A deep purple red core, vibrant edges slightly lighter. Med+ nose grows in the glass. Deep blackcherry, blackberry, balsamic, subtle spices, deep but a brightness. The palate shows med/med+ body, good density and elegance, med+ to high intensity and a med+ finish. Coravin new tap so expect this to only grow more with air on the dinner table.

Maturation:9/12 months in big tank of Oak (neutral Austrian Oak ) and used tonneaux (neutral)
