Brooding powerhouse demanding patience, built for the next two decades.
The 2014 emerges from the glass with brooding intensity, revealing layers of blackcurrant liqueur and roasted coffee beans wrapped in cedar smoke. On the palate, this vintage displays remarkable architectural precision - the tannins form a structured backbone without overwhelming the concentrated dark fruit core. Espresso and dark chocolate notes linger through a finish marked by tobacco leaf complexity. This needs cellaring to reach its full potential around 2028.
🍷 You're a collector seeking a Bordeaux-style blend that will reward patience with extraordinary complexity over the next twenty years.
Pairs with: Dry-aged ribeye with bone marrow, Braised short ribs with red wine reduction, Aged Pecorino Romano, Dark chocolate tart with espresso
