A beautifully expressive nose opens with well-integrated oak layered over wild strawberry and ripe raspberry. On the palate, the fruit is bold yet impeccably balanced and remarkably harmonious. Notes of balsamic reduction, vanilla, and cinnamon weave through bright red berries, all framed by fine minerals and umami. The texture is elegant and polished, and the tangy, mouthwatering finish makes this exceptionally food-friendly, inviting another sip immediately. This is the finest ever version of this bottling to date and an almost unbelievable value for the level of pedigree and pleasure delivered.
