"In its new look
"More open on the nose than the younger 2019 vintage, this wine has the same concentration, structure and finesse. Think citrus lemon zest, wet pits and mineral tension. This is a true terroir wine, and a joy to drink." (Wine Enthusiast) A Monopole on a parcel of exceptional terroir!
