Makuprofiili
In the glass, this Grand Cru has likely developed a beautiful garnet hue with subtle brick-toned reflections at the rim, a sign of graceful evolution. The nose is layered and captivating, offering aromas of ripe cherry, raspberry, plum, and dried fruit, followed by notes of forest floor, leather, spice, pepper, and a touch of smoke and minerality. On the palate, the wine is refined yet deeply structured, with silky, integrated tannins and lively acidity that keep the fruit vibrant. Flavours of red berries, dark stone fruit, earth, and spice unfold with great precision, leading into a long, nuanced finish. Already beautifully mature, it still has the balance and concentration to continue evolving further in bottle, though it can also be enjoyed now at a very rewarding stage.
