Why You’ll Love It

This wine immediately commands attention with a powerful and opulent bouquet of blackcurrant, ripe blackberry, and dark plum, seamlessly woven together with notes of tobacco leaf, dark chocolate, and a hint of vanilla. The palate is both luxuriously rich and impeccably structured, offering a cascade of dense, dark fruit flavors that are complemented by nuances of espresso, cedar, and a touch of baking spice from its meticulous aging in French oak.

The mouthfeel is sumptuous and full-bodied, with velvety, well-integrated tannins that provide a formidable backbone. Despite its power, it retains a surprising sense of balance and freshness, leading to a finish that is incredibly long, persistent, and satisfyingly smooth. This is a Cabernet built on a scale of grandeur and precision.

How To Enjoy It

• Serving Temperature: To best appreciate its complexity, serve at a cool 16-18°C (60-65°F). This slight chill allows the fruit and oak nuances to shine without being overwhelmed by alcohol.

• Food Pairing: This bold wine calls for equally robust dishes. Enjoy it with herb-crusted rack of lamb, prime rib with horseradish cream, or a classic porterhouse steak. For a vegetarian option, pair with a mushroom wellington or aged hard cheeses.

• Decanting: Highly recommended. Decant for 60-90 minutes before serving. This allows the wine to breathe, softening the tannins and fully unlocking its complex aromatic profile.

• Cellaring Potential: Superbly crafted for aging. Enjoyable now for its youthful intensity, but it will reward patience. Cellar with confidence until 2040+ to experience a more nuanced and developed secondary character
