In the mouth
The palate is harmonious and well-proportioned. Fine-grained tannins provide structure without aggression, whilst the fruit maintains clarity throughout. The finish is sustained and elegant, with a pleasant mineral undertone that reinforces the wine's sense of place.
On the nose
The bouquet is composed and pure, revealing dark berries, black plum, and subtle spice notes. A whisper of menthol adds complexity without dominating the profile. The aromatics develop gradually, suggesting good cellaring potential.
On the eye
Deep garnet-purple, with the density and clarity that suggests a wine of substance and proper maturation potential.
Breeding
Traditional ageing on fine lees in French oak barrels for 18 months.
