2022 EPIC RESERVE
Each vintage, we dedicate a selection of the finest red vinifera grapes to our Epic Reserve. During fermentation, we per-form daily rack-and-returns (délestage) to extract more fruit flavors and tannin, and extend maceration by 3 weeks. After 14 months of barrel aging, we conduct painstaking blending trials to yield a complex, classically balanced and beautifully aromatic dry red wine.
Epic Reserve boasts a striking deep garnet hue in the glass, accompanied by a captivating aroma of custard, red fruits, and baking spices. Nuances of cinnamon and nutmeg intertwine with hints of toffee, coconut, and a touch of burnt brown sugar. Medium-bodied with soft acidity and balanced tannins, it offers a fruity finish with a touch of toast and brightness. Its creamy mouthfeel mirrors the custardy aromas, while the delayed emergence of deep fruit notes adds complexity, resulting in a harmonious and memorable wine.
- 92 pts., James Suckling "A pretty nose of strawberries, rose petal and grated nutmeg. Medium-bodied with silky tannins. The nose follows through to the palate. Rather elegant and refined. Drink now."
