This wine stands out for its aromatic complexity, showing a floral and fresh outline with lavender, geranium, basil and mint notes. At the same time, ripe plum notes, minerals such as graphite, and chocolate and anise tertiary aromas arise. A synthesis of the two previous harvests combining freshness and ripeness. Fine and lingering. Juiciness and fluency on the palate relate to an important Petit Verdot contribution to this blend. This is a balanced wine with elegant tannins and an aromatic finish, reminiscent of black cherries.

This is very structured and powerful with lots of firm tannins that are polished and pretty. It's full-bodied, with blackberry, dark chocolate and hints of hazelnut. 50% malbec, 30% cabernet sauvignon and 20 petit verdot. Very Bordeaux. A wine for long-term aging but so beautiful now.
