2019
Library
$85.00
Seductive aromas of plum, anise, Calycanthus, cedar, and petrichor lure you in, while flavors of blackberry, cassis, fresh bay leaf, and violet keep you coming back for more. The palate is dense and tightly wound with a supple texture and polished tannins suggesting a beautifully long life ahead for this stunning blend…if you can keep your hands off it for now.
