"Powerful and richly aromatic, a beautiful wine for aging."

Aged for three years in a mix of small, large, and old barrels, this wine is impressive. Its smoky licorice aromas and powerful tannins attest to its concentration. A blend of mainly Tannat and the two Cabernets, this wine is bursting with black plum aromas, enhanced by a still-young acidity. Drink from 2026." (Wine Enthusiast 2025).

About wine:

Lively yet elegant, it reveals aromas of blackcurrant, spicy cherries, bark, and warm spices on the nose, followed by a medium body with fine, firm tannins. Concentrated, structured, and refined, it offers a velvety texture and a long, subtle finish. Tannat, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc. Drink now or cellar.
