| TASTING NOTE: It's hard to imagine how one could made a wine that so loudly proclaims its place and its variety while still offered on the basis it will be at its best over '17 and '18. It's opulently rich, with black fruits woven through its dense armour of dark chocolate on the way to a savoury finish. Drink By: 2023.
