Tasting Note

Complex, oozing character and terroir. Robust and powerful but not too full throttle, there is a certain charm and elegance at play. Ripe but juicy and fresh - reflecting the uniform, even ripening season. Lush velvety tannins provide the structure for the ripe berry fruit, cherry liqueur, sandalwood, pepper and garrigue notes. Utterly compelling.
