"Bold yet elegant on the nose, this wine offers a striking bouquet of violet, lavender, and black licorice, all perfectly integrated into a sophisticated aromatic profile. The palate is more rustic, with notes of dried herbs, rose petals, and forest floor that layer over a firmly earthy finish. The dry tannins add structure and grip, centering a core of fresh black fruit. This wine combines charm and character: it is already approachable after decanting, but will be worth following over the next few years.” (Wine Enthusiast 2025)

About the wine:
Bold yet elegant on the nose, this wine offers a striking bouquet of violet, lavender, and black licorice, all perfectly integrated into a sophisticated aromatic profile. The palate is more rustic, with notes of dried herbs, rose petals, and undergrowth layered over a firmly earthy finish. Dry tannins add structure and grip, centering a core of fresh black fruit. This wine combines charm and character: it is already approachable after decanting, but will be worth following over the next few years.
