A brilliant ruby ​​robe with orange highlights. A delicate bouquet of flowers and spices. On the palate, it is dry and elegant, with fine tannins and a beautiful structure conducive to aging. Pairs well with Porterhouse and Veal Chop

James Suckling, January 2025 (Vintage 2019)

A fierce wine for the long haul. Restrained red cherries, violets, pomegranates, licorice and smoke. Crisp acidity, with a savory, almost salty palate, a medium to full body, angular grainy tannins and a good finish. Try after 2026.

Walter Speller, July 2024 (Vintage 2019)

Mid ruby with the beginning of orange tinges. Still a little closed on the nose with hints of black tea leaves and slumbering raspberry fruit. Plenty of juicy raspberry fruit on the palate. It is concentrated, juicy and elegant at the same time. Bags of powdery tannins on the finish and ends a little racy, before a full fruit spread
