Dense black fruit and crushed flowers build with mineral intensity. Powerful yet graceful, with layers of dark raspberry, cedar and exotic spice that unfold beautifully. The structure is impressive. Ripe tannins provide backbone without overwhelming the fruit. A compelling marriage of Bessards and Méal that will reward patience through 2035.
