Elegant Perfume & Precision
The 2020 vintage reveals floral violet, dark red cherry, rose, wild berries, blue fruits, forest floor, and sappy spice with fine white smoke from oak. Direct and thoughtful, the palate brims with fresh red cherries, wet earth, crushed herbs, and a distinctive saline quality. Medium-bodied with high energy, polished silky tannins, and vibrant acidity create elegant balance with impressive cellaring potential.
