It reveals notes of fresh raspberry and strawberry, with small notes of blackberry associated with fine touches of liquorice, pepper, and discreet hints of spices. The palate is fruity, mineral, racy, offering freshness and precision as well as an acidulous frame. On the palate this wine expresses notes of fleshy/juicy cassis, juicy/ripe raspberry, toasted/chocolate as well as a hint of coffee. Tannins are finely dry. Good length.

90 Points – Wine Enthusiast

With its preponderance of Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine has rich, structured tannins as well as black-currant fruits. Wood aging has smoothed the wine, leaving a spicy character and plenty of ripeness. This latest release from the estate, which is on an upward trend, needs some aging. Drink from 2023
