- Expert tasting note: (2024 vintage) "Vibrant, deep, dark purple ruby color is not quite opaque. Aromas are of juicy damson fruit & chocolatey notes. The palate is quite structured from the outset. The wine has a nice density, some drying tannins & cedary & sweet-spice hints. The finish has a little ripeness & richness but the ripe black-plum fruit is dominated by drying cedary tannin. Alcohol is balanced & acidityu is very fresh. The structured finish is drying & angular." - 04/25 ep DCAMW

2024 Vintage Tasted: May 2025

When to drink: 2028 to 2045

Deep garnet-purple colored. Needs a fair bit of coaxing to unlock scents of baked blackberries and kirsch, leading to an undercurrent of tar, green peppercorns, and lavender oil. The medium-bodied palate delivers an impressive intensity of red and black berry flavors with a lively backbone and velvety tannins, finishing long and earthy.

About The Wine Palate

? / 100 James Suckling

2024 Vintage Tasted: May 2025

This shows pretty cherry, raspberry and orange aromas and flavors with medium body and a bright, vivid finish. An attractive balance of fine tannins and acidity. Juicy at the end. A blend of 70% merlot, 25% cabernet franc and 5% cabernet sauvignon.

2024 Vintage Tasted: Apr 2025

Chocolate, black cherries, licorice, espresso, and flowers create the perfume. On the palate, the wine is soft, vibrant, round, and supple, with plums and cocoa that resonate from the mid-palate through to the finish. The wine blends 70% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. 13.5% ABV. Drink from 2027-2040.

Aromatic cherries and raspberries, sappy, well-structured, polished on the palate, fine ripe tannin, gentle, velvety tannins, lingering aftertaste. It’s an attractive wine that can be enjoyed at a young age.
