TASTING

The quintessence of our best vine parcel of Merlot, this exclusive wine comes from very small harvested amounts of grapes. It is aged two years in oak vats and six months in tanks. Bottling takes place without filtration. The wine develops aromas of black fruits (blackberry and blueberry) with subtle notes of spices (pepper and rosemary).  In mouth, the powerful but well integrated tannins are noticeable and provide considerable volume. The fruit aromas are found in the nose where they marry well with a light note of blond tobacco from the very long aging in oak barrels of 228 l
