The vintage
The 2022 harvest was marked by a cool and stable climate, without extremes or adverse weather events. A dry, cold winter ensured uniform bud break, while a cool, frost-free spring promoted healthy plant development. The mild summer allowed for gradual ripening, leading to excellent sugar accumulation and optimal aromatic expression. Harvesting took place progressively, allowing each plot to be picked at its ideal point of ripeness. An exceptional vintage, defined by balance, freshness, and remarkable ageing potential.

Tasting
On the nose, the wine reveals complex aromatic intensity with evolving layers. The aromatic sequence opens with vibrant notes of forest fruits like blackberry and raspberry, followed by a subtler second layer of red currants, physalis, and delicate violet and hibiscus flowers. The finish is long and persistent, with enveloping notes of canelo pepper and cedar. On the palate, it is a remarkably balanced wine, with a smooth entry leading to precise acidity that brings tension and energy. The rich texture is supported by a fine, well-defined tannic structure that adds depth and character. Decanting for at least 2 hours before serving is recommended to allow the wine to fully express its aromatic spectrum and depth.
