Another full throttle winner from this producer, at a price that will keep you coming back. It’s perfectly ripe and delivers mixed berry, fall spice, vanilla and a touch of mint on the nose and in the mouth, where supple tannins and a plush feel make you pause and hold it there for a moment before letting it finish big. Bold cheeses will bring out the best in this one.
