Written Notes

Precise and decidedly solid in its sensory profile, it shows notes of black tea leaves, chamomile, orange juice and mixed spices. Full-bodied, incredibly silky in the sip it shows a solid presence and a finish of great stylistic character. Wow! Certainly one of the best expressions of the tasting. A blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot and 5% Cabernet Franc. Best since 2026.

80% C. Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 5% C. Franc and 5% P. Verdot. It's the first vintage with that much C. Sauvignon in the blend. 13% alcohol. Intense black- and redcurrants, crushed rocks, coffee beans, cigar box, graphite, fresh, fine structure and complexity. Persistent aftertaste. Splendid effort for the vintage. 94-95p.

  • 95p

Dark purple colour with violet hue and black core.  Very well structured wine with depth and length, the nose displays an aroma reminiscent of black stone fruit, ripe blackberries, elderberries and hints of slow. Elegant spiciness and fine minerality in the background. On the palate rather full-bodied with firm yet ripe tannins, juicy fruit, discreet spiciness and very convincing length.
