Tasting notes: Dark intense color, dense material, promises great wine. Mushroom, earthy notes all bring to the fore signs of terroir. In addition to the fruits (plums, goat), there are also notes of cocoa and chocolate taste, which is made round by the beautiful use of barrels. It can be felt in the sip that breed marks are pushed into the background a bit, giving way to the terroir. Although he is still in his infancy, resting will cause a surprise.
