Tasting commentary

2022 combines the fruity freshness of the first selection made in mid-September with all the roasted flavors of the two botrytized selections made at the end of October. Exotic fruit and floral notes introduce a dense, well-balanced palate, achieved through precise, exacting blending. This is a vintage of the highest quality, expressing all the breed expected of a noble rot wine.
