The initial fruit on the tongue is mild, mixed with lavender notes and fresh figs, the mid-palate rises gracefully with smooth, smoky layers of tobacco and dark chocolate, while the finish brings hints of mint and burnt sugar. Barrel aging for 24 months in 25% new Hungarian oak adds light spice and complexity to the wine, while 50% neutral French oak enhances the cocoa and smoke flavors, 25% neutral Hungarian oak rounds out the blend. We're sure you'll enjoy this little miracle as much now as when you open your cellared bottle in a few years. Pair with grilled rosemary lamb chops smothered in olive-mint salsa. 250 cases produced Response to the 2003 vintage: "Outstanding! A beautiful wine to enjoy now or over several years."
