Simone 2019
-
Powerful and complex, our Simone 2019 has a deep, dark ruby color with hints of violet. The nose is electric and full of energy. It distills a captivating aromatic bouquet of fresh roses, dried flowers, musk, undergrowth, and graphite. The palate is fresh and vibrant, telling us that this wine is truly alive. The tight tannic structure is remarkably silky and velvety. With a long, vibrant, and slightly saline finish, this very special cuvée will undoubtedly express the same energy for the next 30 years.
