The equivalent of a second wine from this estate is generously endowed, rich in black fruits. Tannins are fully integrated into the wine's fruitiness and dense texture. This wine will be ready from 2022.

Black olive, ripe boysenberry and black cherry flavors show a meaty undertone in this burly red, with charred herb, mineral and licorice details lining up on the chewy finish
