Tasting Notes

• Aroma: This vintage features powerful notes of red and black fruits, such as cherry and blackberry, complemented by a hint of vanilla and subtle woody undertones from its time in oak.

• Palate: It is medium-bodied with a well-structured frame. The tannins are described as "melted" and harmonious, leading to a velvety finish with persistent notes of toasted wood and spice.

• 2021 Vintage Characteristics: Generally, 2021 Bordeaux wines are known for being fresh and lower in alcohol compared to previous years, making them ideal for earlier drinking rather than long-term cellaring. 

Key Details

• Grape Varieties: A traditional blend typically consisting of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc.

• Aging: Aged for approximately 6 months in American oak barrels, which imparts its signature "finely oaked" character.

• Serving Advice: Best enjoyed at room temperature (16°C – 18°C). It is recommended to decant the wine for about an hour before serving to let the aromas open up.

• Pairing Suggestions:  it pairs excellently with red meats like beef and lamb, as well as aged cheeses like Camembert or even chocolate-based desserts.
