This is a reserve from a vineyard of the same name – very old and marly subsoil. After 36 months in oak wood and another couple of months in bottle, it shows up its dehydrated violet and mind leaf aromas, as its rhubard and medicinal herbs’ notes. Its mouth is wide, generous and provided with soft, but clear-cut tannins and an exceptional, as much herbaceous and persistent finish.
