The nose is delicately red-fruited, featuring a raspberry and redcurrant core accented by a touch of white pepper spice. As the wine opens, it reveals a lovely floral perfume with nuances of blueberry, forest floor, and a hint of crushed cinnamon, inviting you further into the glass.
On the palate, waves of flavor unfold, showcasing both purple and red fruit intertwined with a twist of black peppercorn. The pleasingly tight, grainy structure is complemented by succulent tannins and a subtle texture, delivering an enjoyably fresh and elegant experience. The wine finishes with impressive length, leaving a lingering note of lavender for a beautifully refined conclusion.

A delayed yet sufficient winter rainfall allowed for adequate replenishment of reserves, while a cool and wet spring ensured well-saturated soil profiles. Although winter was not as cold as the previous year, it still allowed for sufficient reserve building. The cool conditions during the budding period resulted in a delayed bud break, and veraison occurred later than usual.
Prolonged ripening, influenced by consistently low daytime temperatures, contributed to exceptional color and flavor development in the berries. This vintage promises high-quality wines with remarkable aging potential, reflecting the season's ideal conditions.
