Initially a light nose of citrus with hints of mineral, after swirling notes of yellow apple peels and orange blossoms also appears. Quite opulent on the palate along the same fresh notes with some creamyness added from the malolactic. Medium finish.

Initially a medium nose of blackberries and some liquorice. After some air cherry jam also appear. On the palate we find very well integrated tannins, surprisingly nice and fresh acidity, and the same notes as in the nose. Medium length. The wine is probably at, or a year or two past, it’s peak. Very enjoyable and accessible now.

Light to medium nose with fruits towards the red spectrum on the palate. Medium finish. Nothing spectacular and certainly below what Cairanne is able to deliver.
