Tasting Notes:

PDF

The 2022 Pirouette is a bold, refined blend that balances power with elegance. Deep, concentrated aromas and flavors of cassis, black cherry and graphite lead to a richly textured palate, where dark fruit intertwines with notes of coffee, baking spice, and a hint of cigar box. Silky yet firm tannins lend structure, while well-integrated oak enhances the wine’s depth and complexity. The finish is long and lingering, echoing with generous dark fruit and spice.

93 Points

Broad and structured, this offers aromas of ripe blackberries, crushed walnuts and exotic spices, together with leaves and a hint of overturned earth. Compact and powerful on the palate, with big but integrated tannins, giving a seamless mouthfeel. Dark chocolate notes in the long, textured finish.
