Intensity and Elegance
The deep purple hue with garnet reflections is a testament to the richness of this vintage.
Its aromas have been meticulously preserved, unveiling an opulent bouquet from the very first nose. Ripe black fruits—blackberry, fig, and plum—unfold in an expressive burst, gracefully intertwined with notes of cocoa, roasted coffee, and delicate hints of vanilla. As it opens, the bouquet gains complexity, revealing subtle woody nuances, with notes of peony adding an extra layer of finesse.
The palate is both refined and generous. A velvety texture glides over perfectly integrated silky tannins, while a vibrant acidity lends structure and balance. The rich and deep flavors extend into a long, harmonious finish, marked by freshness and refinement.
A wine of remarkable balance and elegance, it embodies the craftsmanship and passion of our estate. Already captivating, this vintage will continue to evolve, gaining even greater depth with time.
