...total stunner. What a wine! The 2022 was magnificent en primeur... The aromatics alone are mesmerizing. Crushed rose petal, mint, blood orange, new leather and cedar meld into a core of pliant red-toned fruit.
Powerful aromatics of red, blue, and black fruits as well as crushed stone and violets define the aromatics...full-bodied, incredibly concentrated...integrated acidity, and ultra-fine tannins.
Wafting from the glass with a complex bouquet of sweet wild berries mingled with rose petals, orange zest, violets, gentian and espresso roast...full-bodied, supple and suave, with a deep core of cool, layered fruit, beautifully vibrant flavors and polished structuring tannins, concluding with a saline finish.
This is very fresh, expressive and focused, with violet, iris and rosehip notes darting to the fore, while flavors of sleek raspberry and red currant preserves race along behind. Almost flattering, but there’s a subtle chalky tension piercing the finish, which sails through. A dreamy wine...
Floral notes on the nose. Tangy and sharp, lively and bright straight away, sweet and sour, so energetic and lively with a mineral grip from the fine, firm, grippy tannins. Lovely precision and almost delicate presentation of fruit...all in balance, really quite thrilling and electric. Great purity and focus...lovely volume and roundness accented by tobacco, clove, liquorice and cinnamon touches. Really well worked and fresh...Elegant but confident...very singular charm with this wine.
Juicy, fresh and floral with a feather-light touch to the palate...the tannins plentiful and long. Clean, refreshing finish, the limestone terroir apparent.
