This is the 2024 Vintage - I tried to decant this to smooth it out ( it helped to a limited degree) for the price an appellation good value but maybe allow it to age a bit more in concrete amphora or neutral barrels would have made a big difference. Nice aromatics - maybe let it age in the bottle longer — 23 days ago
