"Ad Fines demonstrates once again that one can produce truly noble Cabernet Sauvignon wines on this Vaucluse terroir! The 2020 vintage is particularly successful, well-balanced, and structured by fine tannins promising long aging potential. The dominant proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon gives it its inimitable mentholated notes with already a hint of leather. Very lovely!"
