Owner's words
A complex and spicy nose of great finesse. The blend’s expression is both pure and vibrant, showcasing a maturity that blossoms in freshness. Notes of humus and forest envelop the fruitiness. On the palate, immediate and silky fullness. A concentrated structure, elegant, of great refinement. Flavorful and intense radiance, from fruit to mineral. This wine, with its racey demeanor, is of high class. Very long, precise, pure, and fresh. Impeccable balance. A silky and charming style that will be appreciated in its youth (7-10 years), but aging will make it shine (12-20 years).
