Aromas of black fruit, blackberry, blackcurrant, and plum blend with blond tobacco, chocolate, and coffee. Fresh notes of red bell pepper, fennel, and herbs such as bay leaf evoke the character of the variety. Also present are hints of Chinese ink, pepper, anise, and a subtle marron glacé. An intense and complex wine, with a deep violet color. Broad and silky on entry, with polished, present tannins. A dense and complex wine, with medium acidity and a long, elegant finish.
The Vintage
The 2022 harvest was challenging, with a very dry winter, early frosts, and
