“The nose is dominated by notes of rose, delicately layered over aromas of blackcurrant and black cherry, creating a precise and well-defined aromatic profile. On the palate, a pure core of deeply concentrated blackberry and plum unfolds, while its lively acidity gradually reveals the full depth of the flavor. The finish lingers on notes of crushed stone and a touch of mocha, adding to the complexity. Absolutely magnificent now, or cellared until 2030 and beyond for further refinement. A wine that promises both immediate pleasure and a beautiful future evolution.” (Wine Enthusiast 2025)
