Tasting Notes
The 2023 Columella is deeply complex and beautifully composed, offering aromas of blackberry, red plum, black cherry, violet, and dried herbs layered with notes of cracked pepper, olive tapenade, graphite, and exotic spice. The palate is powerful yet remarkably refined, with fine-grained tannins, vibrant acidity, and exceptional balance. Layers of dark and red fruit unfold alongside savoury Rhône-inspired complexity, leading to a long, seamless finish marked by elegance, freshness, and precision.
