$90
Opulent yet so elegant, this wine has already achieved great balance. It comes from the soft richness of the generous fruit, the spice from both the wood and the fruit, and the roundness of the texture, which envelops you in its warmth and ripeness. And, at the end, just to give a great lift, along comes the acidity.

There is a fine balance on the nose between modern new wood aromas and pure raspberry fruits. On the palate, the wood is sweet and is nicely balanced with a helpling of chunky fruits and some elegant ripe flavors. Lovely acidity comes through toward the finish. This is a fine wine, both concentrated and yet elegant.
