strong classy oak aromas lead blackberry and baking-spice scents on a potent but textbook rdd nose. this old-vines wine from a benchmark year is tight-fisted and linear in feel, with lemony acidity. fully oaked flavors of blackberry and cassis sit comfortably on a bed of herb and spice notes, while this is oaky, spicy, steady and integrated on the finish. drink through 2027.
