James Suckling, 93 Points 

"Black-cherry and berry aromas with some flower and sandalwood character. Complex. Full-bodied and layered, with lots of gorgeous, silky tannins and a long finish. Give it time. From organically grown grapes. Try after 2024." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"An exceptional wine, very elegant, complex and rich in minerals. Produced from hand-harvested grapes and fermented naturally for two weeks after soft pressing and destemming. The wine is aged in 54hl Allier French oak barrels for 48 months. Refined in bottle for one year minimum. Clean and intense bouquet with very ripe fruit and herbal nuances. Well balanced, fresh and intense in the mouth. Lasting and mature tannins. Black fruit and spice accompany soft vanilla flavours. Intense finish." 

Alcohol: 14%
