Tasting Profile

• Aroma: Enticing layers of dried cranberries, prunes, and warm spices (cinnamon, cumin) evolve into earthy undertones of aged leather and cedar.
• Palate: Rich flavors of blackcurrant, mocha, and exotic spices unfold, supported by crisp acidity and refined grainy tannins.
• Finish: Exceptionally long and layered, with subtle notes of liquorice and slate adding depth.

Vintage Highlights

Crafted during a challenging growing season with low yields, the 1993 vintage benefited from extended skin contact (42 days) and a cool August, allowing slow ripening for concentrated flavors. Rated 93 pts by Wine Advocate and praised for its “vibrant, earthy aftertaste” (Wine Spectator 92 pts), this wine remains cellar-worthy with potential to age gracefully for another decade.
