Owner's words
This 2021 vintage reveals a deep and intnse colour. The nose is complex with blackcurrant and blueberry notes. White pepper, cedar and menthol, spicy notes complete the bouquet. The palate is charming and elegant with sweet frsh blackberries and cocoas flavours. A hint of liquorice adds complexity to the finish. The tannins are silky and delicate and the acidity reinforces the natural freshness. This is a charming and perfectly balanced vintage.
