The nose is both complex and ethereal, opening with refined spice, vivid minerality, and delicate notes of undergrowth and blossoming orchard flowers. There’s an airy elegance throughout, suggesting both grounded character and a sense of lift. On the palate, the wine is powerful yet poised, bursting with energy while maintaining remarkable finesse. Silky tannins support vibrant fruit and earthy depth, leading into a taut, lingering finish that is both graceful and contemplative, leaving a lasting impression of quiet intensity and inner harmony.

Stewed berries, currants, cloves, sweet tobacco and some orange zest on the nose. It’s full-bodied with firm, tightly knit tannins, framing a core of ripe dark fruit. Spiced and zesty finish. Fills your mouth. Try from 2024.

Andreas Larsson

Inky dark purple core with a garnet rim. Fragrant and floral aromas displaying chalk, truffle, wild raspberry, cassis and fine spices with mild oak. The palate shows a good density and volume with fine extract and ripe tannin, supple and elegantly built with seductive wild fruit notes, finely spicy and layered with a very fine length.
