Quite possibly the best Stratus Red to date! A saturated ruby colour leads into a complex mix of blackberry, cassis, raspberry, cocoa, coconut, vanilla, violets, mint and pepper/anise. It is concentrated and long-lasting with sweet fruit on the mid-palate before the firm, dry tannins make an appearance. Hold for 4 years and then drink until 2025, preferably with a NY strip. A blend of all 3 Bordeaux varietals plus a smidge of Tannat.
