Sensory :
In the glass, the 2022 vintage shows vibrant red and black fruit aromatics of ripe plum, currant, and black cherry. Subtle herbal undertones of sage and a touch of lavender add depth, while the palate is lean, structured, and slightly rustic with hints of cherry cola, dark berries, and a savory earthiness. The finish is energetic, framed by fine-grained tannins and refreshing acidity, making it a versatile companion at the table.
