Tasting commentary
It's all there. Sophistication and substance, intensity and restraint, the limestone signature. The composition's subtle thread is the freshness around which the vintage's density is anchored and built. Its first facet is floral, evoking the scent of spring flowers and daffodils. This is accompanied by juicy red fruit of notable depth. On the palate, the wine blossoms in harmony, summoning the mastery of a perfectly accomplished vintage. Cherry meets grapefruit, vibrancy meets substance. The silky texture seems to envelop an electrifying heart. The sensations persist, stretching out the tasting. The wine remains true to form, with unfailing staying power.
