Simone 2020

-
Powerful and complex, our Simone 2020 is a deep ruby color with hints of violet. The nose is bursting with energy, distilling a captivating aromatic bouquet of fresh roses, black fruits and graphite. The palate is fresh and vibrant. The tight tannic structure is velvety, with a long, vibrant and slightly saline finish. This special cuvée will express the same energy for the next 35 years.
