Rich, full-bodied wine with a deep, concentrated ruby hue. On the nose, the perfume is recognized by rich, earthy undertones of leather, pencil shavings, cedar, tobacco, truffle, blackberry, and cassis, with a elegant undertone of sweetness from the Napa fruit. The tannins are nicely integrated, providing a smooth, mellow texture. The mouthfeel is well-balanced, with a fulfilling mid-palate that adds substance and layers to the wine. at the same time it may lack a bit of mid-palate density, the in total profile and classic frame of the wine make it a compelling favorite for those looking for a classic Bordeaux-inspired wine.
