This red wine is made from Syrah grown in a single plot of clay and round stones, and is fermented and aged with great care. It has a gorgeous aroma of violets and black fruits, with a depth of black pepper and minerals. The smooth tannins and acidity are in harmony, and it has an elegant, long-lasting flavor.

Tasting Comments

Tasting Notes
Deep ruby in color, when poured into a glass, the wine first releases gorgeous aromas of black fruits (black cherry, cassis) and violets, which over time develop into black pepper, licorice, and an earthy minerality.
When you put it in your mouth, you can feel the concentrated fruitiness, along with the smooth tannins and moderate acidity.
The spices and roasted aromas from the barrels tighten the aftertaste, leading to a supple, elegant, long finish. A wine that already exudes a high level of perfection despite its youthfulness.

Pairing
Herb-grilled lamb chops, roast duck with berry sauce, black pepper beef stew
