Product Description:
The 2020 Series C displays great density of red to black colour and a bright carmine rim. Deep, sensual aromas with clear Series C typicity of dark blue/black fruit notes. Rich layers of cassis pastille, liquorice, hints of juniper berries and charred cedarwood offer considerable sophistication. The palate is deliciously broad and harmonious, with a persistent fruit sweetness. Powerful mid-palate with ripe tannins, good weight and texture. Both linear and continuous, with perfect presence and great length. Wonderfully integrated. The vintage reflects quintessential elegance, with a core of satin tannins and youthful energy. While seductive in its youth, the 2020 Series C promises a decade or more to unfold.

Vinifikation Covid-19 and a Year of Beginnings. When confronted with disruptions and uncertainties, focus on the outcome, not the challenges themselves. The 2019 rainfall marked the start of a wet and cold winter. Spring brought warm, beautiful weather, leading to an early (two weeks early) and even bud break, which meant healthy, homogeneous shoot growth in the early season. Windy conditions during flowering led to some variability in berry set and resulted in loose clusters with small berries. Temperatures during ripening were moderate, without the usual heatwaves we’ve come to expect. This led to a steady and measured pace of ripening and harvest. Despite the uncertainty brought by the announcement of a national Covid-19 lockdown on March 26, 2020, we are grateful that we were able to safely transfer all wines into barrels before that date. While no one expected a global pandemic of this magnitude or its far-reaching consequences, we remain positive and will continue to do so. The wines of this vintage are characterized by balance, concentration, and a restrained power—qualities indicative of a future classic. Aged for 22 months in 68% new French barriques.
