Thirty years on.

Ruby. Aromatically expressive from the outset, the wine opens with dried cherry and rose petal layered with mushroom, sous bois, smoke, and a savory, meaty spice. With air, darker red and black cherry tones emerge alongside a subtle caramel nuance, giving the nose both warmth and complexity.

The palate is driven by remarkably pure, juicy red fruit, at once lacy and seductive in texture yet anchored by a clearly defined acidic spine. While the acidity can feel a touch prominent at first, it ultimately provides freshness and lift, allowing the sweet-fruited core to resonate with clarity and length. Initially framed by firm, slightly imposing tannins, the wine gains harmony with time in the glass, revealing greater spice, depth, and persistence.

Balanced, fragrant, and undeniably delicious, this is a wine that already delivers considerable pleasure while offering the structure and vitality to evolve gracefully. Its combination of sensuality, freshness, and emerging complexity points to a bright future ahead. Now – 2035+.
