The palate is layered and silky-smooth with spice and well-judged oak. Very fine and well-judged tannins give structure and tension to the brooding core of fruit. Very well balanced.

Red-fruited and spicy, the 2023 displays lovely floral notes of rose petals and crushed violets. Packing ample freshness, the full-bodied and velvety 2023 carries spot-on balance.

Floral, peppery perfume of red plums, black raspberries, and spicy, herbes des Provence-like nuances. This medium to full-bodied red has a pure, layered, seamless mouthfeel and terrific tannins.
A hint of pear drop showing its youth. There's a fine grip and firmly dry finish that makes this more than a fruity white. Stony/mineral aftertaste enhances the freshness.
