Fragranced purple flowers with hints of fig, plum and black cherry. Just wonderful aromas of dark fruit - but so precise with great clarity - cool and ripe tones on the nose. So silky smooth, bright and forward. Juicy and crystalline, red summery berry notes alongside sweet spices, liquorice and espresso with bitter black chocolate and garrigue herbality. So pleasing. Still relatively tightly coiled but increases in width with time in the glass. Wonderfully finessed with plenty of underlying power. Slightly powdery tannins on the finish. Layered and charming. Great freshness that leaves you wanting more with a lively and long finish. Black cherry, juicy blueberry - fruit forward and easy to drink but not lacking in character of complexity. 5% Petit Verdot completes the blend. 3.71pH. 18 months in 42% new oak, 58% two year old fresh oak 225l barrels. Cooler and drier conditions than in 2021 with lots of sun and light and excellent sanitary conditions although 35% lower yields. Technical director Andrea Léon.
