"Promising and endowed with noble depth, this vintage captivates with a juicy, alluring nose bursting with blackcurrant, blackberry, and black cherry notes. On the palate, the wine reveals a firm structure backed by tight yet promising tannins. A great terroir wine built for aging, which will benefit from generous decanting in its youth as it reaches its peak performance from 2026-2028 onwards."
