TASTING NOTES

The coolness of the growing season allowed the fruit from this exceptional vineyard to reach an even higher level of the captivating floral fragrance and aromatic quality which was the hallmark of the excellent 2013 vintage. Wild strawberry, raspberry and blood-orange intermingle with red roses and an underlying scent of spicy nutmeg. A fine herbal edge and savoury lavender notes from whole bunch inclusion bring additional lift while hinting at the forest undergrowth characters which will be further revealed with time. Fine grained tannins surrounding a flinty, crushed stone mineral core confirm the seriousness underneath all its prettiness. This wine instantly demands your attention and it seduces with its fragrance and tension, cleverly combining delicacy with structured, gentle power. A multi-layered elegant beauty just waiting to be discovered.
