Notes: During an exceptionally hot season, these vines experienced heat stress, contributing to the emergence of intense fruit flavors in the wine. The aging process has enhanced its complexity but also allowed for the tannins to smooth themselves out, providing a silky finish. This gracefully aged wine retains a bright personality and is ready to be enjoyed. Decant this wine if you can so it can open up and offer its full flavours.
