Our take on this vintage

The first impression of this wine is visual: its garnet color, both deep and translucent, hints at a beautiful complexity. On the nose, one is surprised by an aromatic interplay of candied red and black fruits, enriched by notes of warm slate and spices. Each sip offers remarkable roundness and fullness, with a silky texture that caresses the palate. The flavors of stewed fruit blend harmoniously with the spices, while the finish adds a chewy, savory dimension, underscored by notes of candied strawberry and subtle smoky and toasted nuances. A wine best enjoyed chilled to fully appreciate its character.
