Written Notes

75% C. Sauvignon, 21% Merlot and 4% P. Verdot. 13.5% alcohol. There's 50% less Merlot and 50% more C. Sauvignon in the blend than for example in 2020 and 2019. This property's been on the great run in recent vintages. 2021 here is a juicy and vibrant wine with great complexity, strong structure and splendid length. Very C. Sauvignon with sappy black-/redcurrants and flavours of tobacco leaves and black winter truffle. Impressive stuff. 93-94p.

Dark purple colour with violet hue and black core. Expressive nose in a multi-layered style, blackcurrants, elderberries, hints of blackberries and mulberries, discreet floral hints and gingerbread spices in the background. Subtle oak, very refined nose. On the palate well structured and balanced with almost full-bodied character, excellent length, refined fruit and spiciness lingering in the aftertaste.
