This wine showcases its legendary vintage with a strikingly deep and dark robe, hinting at immense potential. The nose is exceptionally complex, revealing layers of blackberry, blackcurrant, and licorice. With a bit of aeration, delicate aromas of peony and black olives emerge, adding to its intrigue. The palate begins with a silky smooth entry, evolving into a rich and dense mid-palate that perfectly reflects the hallmark qualities of this exceptional year. Its tannic structure is both firm and refined, with round, chalky tannins and a beautifully saline finish—an elegant signature of its limestone-rich terroir. This wine boasts an impressive aging potential of around 20 years. For optimal enjoyment, decanting for two to three hours before serving is highly recommended.
