Merlot and both Cabs from 50-year-old vines. An opaque black purple-red robe here. The nose offers medium-intensity aromas of cream, walnut essence, prune reduction, bitter chocolate, lees/paste and black soil/chicory root. The dry palate follows with a medium acidity, a medium extract, medium fine texture tannins and a medium body, supported by lovely length and fruit intensity of celery seed, walnut, herbs/chicory root, bitter chocolate and black soil, and a medium-plus finish. 2024-2026–IR
