"Medium intensity ruby red, crushed rose petals, intense and concentrated, bitter black chocolate and cocoa bean, with high floral aromatics, peony and iris, great quality, high oak toasting, integrated but with bite. Henri Parent owner, Marcelo Pelleriti winemaker, 100% hand destemmed, old vines from a high altitude site at 1,200m in the Uco Valley. Wine is held back at the property until ready to drink - and you can certainly get going now with a good carafe." (07/2025)

"A toasted, milk chocolate and charred nose - you can smell the concentration straight away. Cinnamon, olive, salty shells, black chocolate, wild flowers and blackcurrants. This is intensely tannic and extremely oaky and spiced with a savoury core. Mouthwatering acidity stops this from being too heavy but it certainly packs a punch. Ageing 24-36 months in new French barrels followed by a lengthy time in bottle until it's deemed ready to drink. Owner Henri Parent, of La Violette in Pomerol, winemakers Marcelo Pelleriti and José Mounier. From a 4.06-hectare, old-vine, high-altitude estate in the Uco Valley." - Georgina Hindle (07/2025)
