Tasting Notes

Fragrant and refined, this stunning red opens with captivating aromas of woodland berry, rose, violet, ground spice and a whiff of new leather. On the firm, elegantly structured palate, taut refined tannins intertwine with succulent red cherry, crushed raspberry, licorice and chopped herb while fresh acidity lends balance. It's already tempting but still young so give the tannins a few more years to unwind. Drink 2021–2034.

Vineyard size: 2.28 ha (5.63 acres). Vineyard exposure: south/south-west. Soil: limestone with sandy veins. Vinification: fermentation at 30 °C (85 °F), 28 days’ skin contact, malolactic completed. Ageing: 36 months in large oak barrels and 12 months in bottle. Bottling date: April 2018. Total production: 13,333. This is bottle number 2702. Lustrous mid ruby. Quite pure raspberry fruit on the nose. Finely built yet firm structure and fresh, elegant and ripe raspberry fruit. Very long and focused and with firm tannins that remain powerful but fall into place on the vibrant finish. 14% Drink 2022-2032
