Deep garnet red. Tight to start on the nose with earthy characteristics, rustic, dark cherries, leaves, mushrooms and a touch of barnyard. Needed some time to open up with more red berries. Rounded tannins (7/10) with quite a bit of acidity. Earthy palate with cherries, spices, touch of bell peppers and herbal notes. Medium bodied with a medium plus to long finish. Drink from 2019 till 2029.

Overflowing with VA. Rather disappointing.

This blend of 59% CS, 28% Merlot, 8% CF, 5% Petit Verdot, has a deep garnet color, a multi layers nose compressed and rich, full of cases, cedar, coffee, dark chocolate, fresh herbs , spices and a light scent of barnyard, full body rich with firm tannins, yet silky and luxurious, long lasting dry finish that with no doubt will become magical with time, my score 91, drink 2019-2031
