Tasting Notes

A ripe yet restrained cool red berry fruit nose is explosively spicy and also displays notes of warm earth, plum and plenty of floral character. There is excellent richness and overt power to the relatively refined medium weight plus flavors thanks to the fine grained tannins that coat the mouth on the gorgeously long and mouth coating finish. This impeccably well-balanced effort is clearly built for the long haul. As good as the Grands Ech is there is simply another dimension of depth present here.
