Deeply opaque, dark cherry red, with garnet highlights. Expressive aromas of black forest fruits and blueberry with delicious, jammy cherry coming through, and a characteristic, terroir-imparted mineral nuance. Velvety and elegant on the palate, revealing exquisitely fine, fruit tannins, good length, and refined aromas of aging in toasted oak.
A historic harvest with very low yields, mostly due to a serious frost event in late April, but accentuated by summer drought. 2017 was one of the hottest years on record, which led to very early budbreak, maturation, and harvest. The grapes reached optimal ripeness and arrived at the winery in perfect condition. Very concentrated grapes, both aromatically and on the palate.
