Seasonal conditions: one of the three best years for the estate, with less rainfall (539mm) and a particularly hot and dry summer, ideal for the varietal. The average annual temperature was 14°C.
A dark, ruby color with purple reflections. The compact bouquet is still young and centered on notes of currant, blueberry and raspberry. It later opens slowly to fine vegetal tones of fern and bramble, accompanied by a slightly wilted floral hint and those spice, above all tobacco. The mouthfeel has an excellent consistency and is very structured and full, flavorful and juicy, with rich tannins full of grip. A warm sensation accompanies the finish, which is slightly bitter and dry, with a vegetal aftertaste of tea. This appeared to be the youngest version tasted and still not ready to drink but with a great propensity to age well.
