A commanding Bordeaux blend that balances Napa Valley power with classical restraint.

The 2010 opens with brooding intensity, revealing layers of cassis liqueur and dark chocolate that evolve into more nuanced notes of cedar shavings and cured tobacco. On the palate, the wine shows remarkable density without heaviness, with velvety tannins providing structure to concentrated black cherry and espresso flavors. The finish lingers with vanilla bean and dark spice, suggesting this beauty will reward patience through 2035.
