TASTING NOTES
Brilliant garnet in hue, the nose expressive of crunchy black fruit underpinned by more spicy notes reminiscent of cloves and pepper. The generously fruit-forward, fresh attack gives way to superb extract over a plump, smooth, ripe and delightfully fresh tannic base.
AGEING
4 to 8 years.

VINTAGE 2014
TASTING NOTES
A beautifully deep, brilliant garnet hue with deep purple tints. Richly expressive nose with black fruit aromas (blackcurrant), as well as more spicy and floral notes. Remarkable balance on the palate, extremely supple and ample. Very elegant tannic structure. The product of a ripe harvest with the elegance typical of Bordeaux wines. Best enjoyed young over an informal meal with friends as an accompaniment to a delicious cut of grilled meat.
AGEING
To drink from 2015.
