“Black-cherry fruit leather meets violet, rose, and garrigue in a generous nose that is both refined and inviting. The palate is silky yet layered, balancing dried currant, licorice, flint, and a subtle meaty tone against supple texture. Sophisticated and complex, this is the kind of versatile bottle that impresses equally on casual game night or formal dinner. Serve at cellar temperature. Best Buy.”
