Tasting commentary

The color of the 2022 is dark garnet with beautiful aromas of blackcurrant and violet. The wine is dense and relatively firm, with excellent balance, elegance and fine tannins. The Merlot is sumptuous and the Cabernet Sauvignon classy. An immense Olivier that will go a long way.
