The wine is produced with meticulous attention to detail, including fermentation in small batches and aging in French oak barrels, which imparts a complex structure and depth. The flavor profile is rich with dark fruit notes, complemented by hints of spice and a well-integrated tannin structure. This wine pairs beautifully with hearty dishes such as grilled meats or rich stews, enhancing the dining experience with its elegance and balance.

Exotic aromas of dried fruit, flowers, bark, sandalwood and dried flowers. Pine cone, too. Full-bodied with wonderful, refined tannins with riper tannins that show softness and pretty length. Harmonious. Just a hint of chocolate. A beautiful 1970s vibe to this. 57% cabernet sauvignon, 15% merlot, 14% cabernet franc, 9% malbec and 5% petit verdot. Drinkable now, but even better in a few years.
