May 2024 - The smoothest and most delicious wine I had to drink in a while! A blend of Grenache, Cinsault and Tempranillo grown at 1000m of altitude in only 50 hectares of vineyards. Big cassis, cherry accompanied by hints of spice, cedar and tobacco. Velvety texture and very-well integrated tannins, bold and elegant. Superb!
