It was matured for 22 months in 100% new French oak, bottled in August of 2023 and tasted in late September. It takes some time to unfold scents of blackcurrants, blueberries, green pepper, dried lavender and sage and continues to open as it spends time in the glass. The palate is stunning! It has ripe, detailed fruit, pixelated tannins and seamless acidity and finishes with fantastic length and perfume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Rating\" itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"reviewRating\" class=\"sr-only\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan class=\"pipProdProReviews_rating\"\u003e96 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan itemprop=\"author\" class=\"pipProdProReviews_name\"\u003eTasting Panel \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMade with fruit that hails from an elevation of 2.200 feet on DAOU Mountain, this proud, sumptuous wine makes a grand entrance on a boysenberry-blue carpet surrounded by dark chocolate and lavender.
