Tasting notes
The vintage’s freshness and balance are combined with dazzling fruit and a velvety texture. The grandiose reds have two phases of maturity: the Merlots, with the dry and warm June and July, are fleshy, round and aromatic. After the rains at the end of September, the Cabernets finish refining their tannins, preserving the freshness and thus offering extraordinary complexity, sap and silkiness.
