A deeply expressive wine marked by layered black fruit, crème de cassis, and subtle blood orange. The palate is lush and plush, carrying impressive density without excess weight, while medium-plus tannins provide structure that is firm yet seamlessly integrated. Nuances of sandalwood and a subtle hint of incense add aromatic lift and complexity, extending through a long, polished finish. The vintage conditions presented contrasts across the growing season, while excess water in 2024 was followed by significantly fewer bunches in 2025, the estate avoided both frost and meaningful disease pressure. Despite limited rainfall later in the season, the limestone soils proved resilient, sustaining the estate’s 5 hectares of biodynamically farmed vines with remarkable balance. End-of-August rains had less impact here than in many surrounding sites, preserving both concentration and freshness in the fruit. Blend: 82% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc.
