Fermentation and aging occurred in 500-liter French oak puncheons and barrels, with the wine maturing for 24 months in 100% French oak (80% new).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"832\" data-end=\"849\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"832\" data-end=\"849\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"851\" data-end=\"1287\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"851\" data-end=\"892\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"853\" data-end=\"892\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"853\" data-end=\"867\"\u003eAppearance\u003c\/strong\u003e: Deep garnet-purple hue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"894\" data-end=\"1076\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"896\" data-end=\"1076\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"896\" data-end=\"905\"\u003eAroma\u003c\/strong\u003e: Exuberant scents of warm cassis and blackberry pie, complemented by subtle hints of dried Provence herbs, fertile loam, coffee, yeast extract, olives, and crushed rocks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1078\" data-end=\"1287\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1080\" data-end=\"1287\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1080\" data-end=\"1090\"\u003ePalate\u003c\/strong\u003e: Full-bodied and plush, featuring flavors of dark berries, blackberries, and hot stones.
