The team's opinion

While 2015 was a hot and dry year, the late-season rains brought the necessary freshness to prevent any heaviness. The result is a wine with the structure of a great Bordeaux classic and a very contemporary fruit maturity. If you are lucky enough to open a bottle of it soon, decanting it for 3 to 4 hours is essential to allow its complexity to express itself.
