It offers up aromas of dark berries, crème de cassis and iris, followed by a medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated palate with excellent density, high-quality tannins and a long, perfumed finish. The 2025 may well be the \u003cstrong\u003ebest wine ever\u003c\/strong\u003e produced at this estate. \u003cstrong\u003e91-93 \u003c\/strong\u003eWilliam Kelley, Wine Advocate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe polish and integration of fruit and tannins are very impressive, with a caressing texture and a fruity finish.

The palate is medium-bodied with edgy tannins on the entry, quite powerful, good density and a muscular finish that should be tempered during its élevage plus bottle age.
