From an 87-year-old vineyard, the vines' comparatively cool-climate origins assist in showcasing its high-toned black cherry, plum and floral notes. There are oak-derived aromas, too, like cola, licorice and toast, but give this time to open in the glass and it all knits nicely together. The palate is full bodied but not hulking, gliding along with silky, juicy fruit and savory, grainy textured tannins. A savory, oaky streak is there, too, but assuming the fruit stays strong, the structure should send this wine into the future at least until 2026.
