The 2023 'Cuvée Cinéma' displays pronounced aromas of brambles, black cherry, spices and aniseed on the nose. The palate has an elegant tension and phenolic grip. Plush red fruit like wild strawberries emerge as the wine uncoils, complemented by a savoury edge with notes of tomato leaf and pomegranate. This is a spicier vintage with a fresh, saline finish.
