The 2022 is striking: from an understated toastiness, it unfurls with peonies and fennel blossom until intense balsamic notes take a heady hold. Padded with fleshy red cherry, this has plenty of stuffing for its frame, and the dry, powdery tannins are solidly built. This just needs time to marry, lingering with appetising iron and blood orange. Rising from 390 to 420 metres above sea level, the estate’s Ciabot Mentin vineyard is divided into six plots; each is vinified separately with the final selection and blend made just before bottling.
