A stunningly complex and subtle “right-bank” styled red blend from the historically challenging 2011 vintage. This medium-bodied jewel begins with aromas dominated by tobacco leaf, leather, and anise, which precede flavors of candied red fruit reminiscent of strawberry-rhubarb pie, all clothed in a thin veil of vanilla, cocoa, and clove, and leading to a lingering finish with soft, enjoyable tannins. Perfect to accompany your favorite veal dish, or try with a saltimbocca venison shank. Read More
