Exceptional colour; 15% whole bunches, fruit sorted, wild-fermented, and basket-pressed to new (60%) and used French oak. An exceptional achievement for the vintage, with dark chocolate and black fruits on the bouquet morphing into a complex, decidedly savoury (in the best sense) palate, still with dark fruits, but giving impressive mouthfeel. Admirable balance and length; certified biodynamic vineyard, but not claimed as such.
