Perfumed and elegant, this wine feels ethereal. Delicate violet aromas float over blackberry and red cherry, with earthy notes, wet stone, and hints of toasted vanilla, cinnamon, fresh bread, and dried meats. The palate is polished yet broad, with a beautifully balanced structure, fine chalky tannins, and a mineral-rich layer. Floral notes lift off the palate, revealing an evolving halo of flavours. Sophisticated and refined, this wine is endlessly rewarding.
