Description
At Kirwan, everything revolves around wine. Having benefited from a year of care and attention in the vineyard, every vintage is a revelation. Impatience, then hope accompany the long months when the wine ages, and finally the time comes to taste: the timeless ceremony, when the aromas of the new nectar are revealed. Eyes first, then the nose.
Kirwan wines display complex robes that appear to clothe them in velvet. As they swirl in the glass, marvel at the flash of ruby red or vermilion, the intense carmine or purple, or even the depth of a garnet that is almost black with an ochre streak running through it. Then savour that moment, when they finally offer up their secrets to the palate.

Tasting
2010 comes out as an extremely complete wine: its freshness and aromatic purity bring an additional touch of brilliance to its velvety richness.
Its superbly delicate nose, the savory balance it presents in the mouth and its intense finale all contribute to making this wine a perfect expression of the Kirwan terroir.
In addition to the indulgent quality of its remarkable fruit, 2010 offers great aging potential.
