"A bold, exuberant style, with a lot of personality and generous notes of inviting fruit and mulling spices. Boasts black cherry, licorice and crushed graphite elements on a full-bodied, fleshy profile. Stays focused, thanks to solid, well-built tannins. Substantial, gutsy and charming"

The vintage
2020 is an early vintage with impressive ripeness and exceptionally healthy grapes. After the substantial fall rains, the soil's water reserves were fully recharged. The dry summer led to a great concentration in the berries, and the light early September showers secured a harvest at peak maturity.
Winemaking
Harvest started on the 2nd of october at optimal maturity. On arrival in the cellar, the harvest is completely destemmed. Long maceration with partial punching down. Fermentation at controlled temperatures. Ageing in concrete tanks for 12 months before bottling.
