Opening with a broad and expressive bouquet, the 2014 Nicolas-Jay offers up intense cherry, blackberry, and baking spice notes. The palate is luxurious, displaying classic notes of dried cherries, herbs and hints of cranberries that culminate in a fresh, focused finish. This is an inaugural triumph from one of the most gifted winemakers on Earth and will continue to offer pleasure for at least 7-8 years.
