Seasonal conditions: Mostly favorable weather with relatively low temperatures in both autumn and winter and an average temperature of 12.4°C. Rain was scarce, especially in the first half of the year. Harvest was perfect, the grapes high in sugar for fermentation and malolactic fermentation fully competed.
A ruby color with a nuanced edge, slightly more tenuous than the 2004. The elegant aroma is initially hesitant before releasing scents of black cherry and toasted cacao and coffee followed by notes of wilted flowers, dried raspberry and a sensation of blood and meat extract. The mouthfeel is agile and fresh, pleasing and elegant, with thick tannins providing structure. The finish is warm, clean and subtly saline with floral and fruity hints.
