Written Notes

Tasted in January 2022. 89% Merlot + 8% C. Franc + 2% Malbec + 1% C. Sauvignon. Beautiful and aromatic on the nose with sweet cherry drops, creamy and vibrant on the palate, luscious berries and sweet tannins, well-structured and balanced. Superb stuff. 

  • 93p

Intense purple colour with violet hue and black core. Expressive yet elegant nose with aroma reminiscent of blackberries and blueberries, hints of cocoa, vanilla and gingerbread spices. On the palate well structured with ripe and juicy fruit, forest berries and black cherries, balmy spices and fine toasting in the background. A very appealing wine with convincing length and a promising potential.
