Tasting note

A brilliant, deep crimson and ruby colour opens into a heady perfume of rose petals, ripe raspberries, red and black cherries, cranberries and blood plums. Complex secondary notes weave through the bouquet, showcasing warm earth, fresh beetroot, kirsch, truffles, five-spice, liquorice and orange rind. A distinct regional and vineyard ironstone and ferrous slaty minerality pins the fruit aromas down. Highly concentrated, structural and powerful yet remarkably delicate. The palate is medium-bodied and tightly coiled, bursting with juicy plum and raspberry. Unlike standard primary, confection-like fruit profiles, it layers its flavours down a crunchy spine with crisp, vibrant acidity. A high proportion of whole-bunch fermentation (60%) contributes firm, powdery, and silken tannins that work alongside subtle layers from 11 months of aging in seasoned French oak. The finish is long, exceptionally persistent, fresh, and deeply savoury with lingering notes of minerals and spice.
