The nose is all about cranberry, fresh red bramble fruit and raspberry gelée, with secondary notes of cigar box, raspberry pie, red licorice, and wet forest floor. The palate is lush with bright, juicy bing cherry and crushed fresh raspberries, tamed by a pain au chocolat finis. 229 cases produced. Aged 24 months in 100% new French oak.

"It has a stunning nose of ripe currants, blackberries, iron, graphite, new leather, and violets. A complete, balanced, medium to full bodied 2022, it has the ripe, seamless, open style of the vintage, ripe tannins, and a great finish. It's beautiful today and should be one of the longer lived 2022s, with a solid 15-20 years of overall longevity." - 96Pts Jeb Dunnuck
