Beschrijving

Almost a ginger tone to the nose, it’s so fresh: Chinese spices, raspberry and violets. Super-tannic and youthful, high toned and a little bit austere, coating the mouth with fine but grippy texture. The fruit is rich and there is a nice seductive side to it, perfumed and so deep, it really settles on the mid-palate, giving you so much fragrance and flavour. Juicy and alive, refreshing but with quite a serious core. Great menthol ending. A lovely St-Estèphe, clearly still a baby that will need to grow over ageing but lovely initial elements and balanced all the way through to a long finish. | Decanter | 2022 | 93

Druiven: 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 10% Cabernet franc, 7% Petit Verdot
