Bright, dark red-ruby. Superripe, complex aromas of black raspberry, black cherry and licorice complicated by subtle soil tones. Sweeter and creamier than the cuvée classique and much more approachable today owing to its sheer sucrosité and depth. This beautifully balanced wine's thick, concentrated fruit covers its substantial building tannins on the very long, slowly mounting Znish.

Aromas and flavors of medicinal herbs and amaro highlight this dense yet vibrant red. Blackberry, smoke and spice notes hold the center, and this lingers with a saturated black cherry aftertaste. Best from 2023 through 2043. 75 cases imported.
