The nose is toasty, powerful, almost tarry or even smoky. There is a very nice minerality with notes of black fruits. The palate is fresh with structure. You can feel the barrel well with a marked but balanced toast. This brings smoky notes and a certain silkiness with length. Nice wine.
The nose is earthy then develops with fruity notes. It’s austere. We have black fruits as well as coffee and cocoa. There is a certain complexity. We also perceive a hint of alcohol. The palate is fresh with a beautiful minerality, almost saline. We find crunchy black fruits like blackberry. The finish is long.

Struck matches on the nose; the wine has a fantastic tension between precise laser-like lime acidity and rich, almost exotic peach fruits. Very concentrated, well-balanced with great length.

The palate is full, almost lush, with ripe succulent pure yellow stone fruits – peaches and nectarines, underpinned by subtle notes of toasted nuts. It is all held nicely in check by a core of juicy mineral acidity. It lingers nicely. A young promising…
(86% Merlot) A beautiful, racy, elegant and velvety nose that offers a lovely multi-layered side, harmony as well as a deep/dark/intense and elegant side at the same time…like an invitation to take your time so that it releases all its aromatics.
