Aged 20 months in 25 and 50 hl untoasted French oak barrels 45% Tannat, 25% Cabernet Franc, 18% Petit Verdot, 12% Marselan
Alcohol (°): 14,5
The first impression here delivers lots of citrus and orange rind. Then blueberries, licorice, forest floor, underbrush and dark chocolate come into the picture as well as tile and clay. The palate shows a unique combination of agile blue fruit and acid drive with firm, grainy tannins and a chewy, very mineral finish. A blend of 45% tannat, 25% cabernet franc, 18% petit verdot and 12% marselan. Drink in 2021.
