This is packed, offering a core of steeped black currant, plum sauce and blackberry reduction that plays wonderfully with a set of sweet bay, chestnut leaf and dried violet aromatics. Underneath is support in the form of a smoldering cast iron girder as additional singed alder and walnut husk accents filter through. Admirably captures the terroir-driven density of this benchmark vintage. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2028 through 2045. Published on March 31, 2025
