"An expressive and elegant vintage, perfect for lovers of the appellation"

Powerful and full-bodied, this wine captivates from the very first sip with its intensity, generous aromas of dark fruit, and toasty notes. Its full-bodied palate reveals a beautiful roundness supported by silky tannins. The minerality, with notes of flint and graphite, lends depth and freshness to the wine as a whole.
