"Exquisite layers of aromatic red cherry, rose, sweet liquorice and tar with a sumptuous creamy texture and ample, well-defined tannins. Still very young and intense with a lovely fresh acidity and a long, enduring finish."

"Fresh and vibrant character with cherries, red plums, dried herbs, lavender and orange peel. Medium-bodied with fine tannins and juicy acidity. Savory and floral with chalky texture on the finish. Drink after 2025."

"Leather, camphor, underbrush and spice aromas shape the nose along with a whiff of wild rose. Ripe and juicy, the enveloping palate offers dried cherry, black tea, tobacco and a hint of almond liqueur set against tightly knit, fine-grained tannins. Drink 2026†2032."

"Bright with cherry and raspberry fruit, this red also reveals licorice, mineral and spice flavors. Well-balanced, with a firm line of tannins on the extended finish. Best from 2025 through 2040. 366 cases made, 110 cases imported."
