👃 On the Nose:
Lifted and perfumed. Notes of red cherry, raspberry, and dried rose petals are joined by hints of garrigue, crushed stone, and subtle spice. Grenache at its most graceful.

Drinking beautifully now, but will continue to evolve over the next 6–8 years, gaining complexity and savoury depth.
