South World WinesEstimated delivery between 6 and Jan 8,
With a 2013 vintage that was climatically exceptional and even considered to be one of the best, coupled with a very rigorous selection of grapes (more than 15 harvest passages between March 28 and April 21!) then ageing in French oak barrels (35% of which were new) for 15 months, we could only be sure of the result!
Appearance
The wine is dense, with a deep purple-red color and a very youthful appearance.
Aroma
The nose is refined and concentrated, with aromas of ripe fruit mixed with notes of black pepper and violets. Subtle, fragrant nuances of musk and wood appear with aeration.
Wine Empyreumatic | Fruity | Gourmand | Nervous | Spicy
Taste
Elegantly structured, the fruit is concentrated, succulent, dynamic with cherry, black pepper and flowers. The tannins are very fine and animated by fresh acidity. Long finish
