Aromatic profile reveals fresh spice, cherry, red currant, and ripe strawberry, layered with subtle nutmeg, coffee, cocoa, and sweet liquorice nuances. The oak influence contributes complexity without overpowering the fruit.

In the glass.
A year marked by severe spring frost that reduced yields considerably. Warm and dry conditions followed, with a hot summer leading to rapid ripening. The harvest was early and short, producing concentrated wines with notable structure but limited production.
