Rose petal, perfumed berry pressed powder and sweet cake spice aromas lead the way. The vibrant palate offers crunchy red cherry, raspberry, white pepper, grilled herb and tobacco alongside fresh acidity and assertive tannins. Drink 2019–2029. Kerin O'Keefe

Characteristics | The color never too bright, a lovely tone and very stable over time. Floral aromas with hints of fresh fruit and sweet spices on the palate, a quite savory, well-structured wine, with acids and tannins nicely in step; the latter stand out and tend to be sweet. It is a very ageable wine that after proper ageing acquires signs of its pedigree, great elegance, marked minerality and remarkable personality. |
Pairing | Excellent with roasts, game |
