Appearance: Deep purple-red, with a medium to medium-deep ruby core, showing its maturity and vibrancy.

Aroma: The nose is expressive and refined, offering floral aromas of violet and peony alongside ripe red plum, raspberry, and black cherry. Graphite, cedar, and a touch of over-mature high tones add complexity, while an underlying freshness defines the aromatic profile.

Palate: On the palate, this vintage is well-balanced and harmonious. The attack is ample and voluptuous, leading into a fine, firm mid-palate that showcases the structured yet elegant profile of Cabernet Franc. Plum and dark berry fruits dominate, supported by good acidity that keeps the wine fresh and vibrant. Subtle leafy notes and a leaner profile are also present, characteristic of Cabernet Franc, adding an earthy dimension. The tannins are silky and suave, providing a luxurious texture. The finish is long, polished, and seamless, with a perfect balance of alcohol and acidity.

Finish: The finish is endless, with lingering notes of dark fruit, earthy tones, and a hint of minerality, demonstrating the wine’s potential for further aging.
