"Once again, Ad Fines has crafted a truly beautiful cuvée. The exceptional drought of 2022 enhanced the Serine, which is largely dominant in the blend: it offers us a rich and generous wine, where notes of black fruits, chocolate, and roasted coffee mingle with the variety's spicy flavors. The small touch of Cabernet Sauvignon brings beautiful volume on the palate with silky tannins and a long finish. Superb!"
