Translucent ruby core with a pink rim. Bright aromas of jasmine, lavender, raspberry, and spice, complemented with nice vanilla and dusty notes. The palate is medium-bodied, with creamy texture and full, round flavors. Red and black fruits abound, with a slight green note coming through on the mid-palate. The tannins are ripe and integrated, with lively acidity on the finish that keeps this going and going. A great second wine that drinks above its rank. Enjoy this today after decanting, but for peak drinking give it another 2-3 years in bottle, then enjoy for the following 10.

Very open and inviting at first, this features steeped black currant, anise and smoldering tobacco flavors leading the way, followed by equally rich notes of fig paste and ganache on the finish. Turns dense and almost loamy through the finish, with lots in reserve. Merlot. Best from 2014 through 2030. -JM
