2016 vintage. Biodynamically farmed 22 hectares estate. A blend of 75 % Merlot and 25 % Cabernet Sauvignon. Intriguing nose with cassis and an intriguing minerality. I believe I would have guessed left bank in a blind tasting. Solid structure, concentrated fruit and nice length. The ripe tannins need to soften up a bit, but everything is in place. Terrific ageworthy value at less than 14 euros. Abv. 13%.
