Classic expression that delivers at a great price point. Dense cherry, cigar box, earthy. Acidity is there and helps keep a nice balance. This could probably age for a LONG time.

Oct 23rd, 2016Same producer as the famed DRC. This is a show stopper for the price point. Once this opened up it had complexity and balance. Cherry, plum and currants along with hints of tobacco. Expressive wine and just lovely.
