Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Evocative and precise. The 2022 is dark, ample and beautifully focused from top to bottom. Exotic, vibrant red fruits, white pepper and dried flower aromas inform the palate that is supple and serious. This will pair well with light or heartier dishes and although charming now, it will continue to improve over several years.
