Nose
Very expressive, the nose is fresh and fruity, with delicious aromas of black fruit (blackcurrant) and fresh red fruit. There are a few hints of cask ageing, slightly toasted, but the fruit dominates.
Palate
The palate is full-bodied. Volume and density on the mid-palate. The tannins are present but perfectly coated on the finish. Nice freshness on the finish. A very pleasant, fresh wine with good ageing potential.
Growing Conditions
2022 was a particularly atypical year due to extreme weather conditions. ln addition to a very early frost in the spring, which affected the vineyard just as the vines were starting to bud, there was a long period of exceptional drought from May until the end of September. The result was low yields and a perfect state of health at harvest time throughout the vineyard.
