Taste profile
Type
On the palate
The 2023 vintage of Book XVII experienced a cool and dry season, leading to more predictable vine stress and resulting in dense, concentrated tannins that remain creamy, with well-balanced acidity. Compared to 2022, this vintage focuses more on finesse, showing greater tension, minerality, and higher acidity.
This specific wine displays excellent balance between dark and red fruit concentration, contributed respectively by Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, complemented by the plush spiciness of Malbec. One word that comes to mind when tasting this wine is purity.
