Very attractive on the nose, this “baby Bordeaux” acquits itself well with aromas of wildflowers, blackberry and soft vanilla. On the palate, it shows its youth with a firm grip and a shy reveal of the nose elements, which leads me to recommend a bit of bottle aging before going in – five years or so should do the trick. A promising value! A Platinum Award winner at the 2021 San Diego International Wine & Spirits Challenge.
