This wine is medium to full-bodied, exceptionally aromatic, and remarkably ethereal with a silky, seamless texture. The 2021 vintage—celebrated as a masterclass in precision and elegance—opens with an intoxicating bouquet of crushed blackberries, dark raspberries, and cassis, seamlessly interwoven with dark chocolate, graphite, pipe tobacco, and signature notes of crushed stone, violets, and pine resin. On the palate, it exhibits extraordinary finesse and freshness, held together by ultra-fine, chalky tannins and a lively, mouth-watering acidity that drives a long, persistent beam of fruit. It finishes dry, long, and intensely mineral, leaving behind lingering echoes of dried flowers, dark fruit, and cool cedar.
