Deep ruby red with garnet reflections, showcasing depth and concentration.
NOSE:
The aromatic profile is complex and intense, featuring ripe dark cherries, wild berries, and dried violets, accompanied by layers of cedar, tobacco, leather, and a hint of earthy minerality. Subtle spices, such as clove, nutmeg, and a touch of vanilla from the oak aging, add sophistication.
TASTE:
Full-bodied and velvety, the palate delivers a rich tapestry of flavors, including ripe cherry, blackcurrant, and wild plum, layered with savory notes of leather, herbs, and a hint of truffle. The tannins are firm but polished, providing structure and depth, while the vibrant acidity offers balance and freshness. The oak integration is seamless, adding complexity without overpowering the fruit.
FINISH:
Exceptionally long and elegant, with lingering notes of dark fruit, spice, and a touch of minerality that showcase the wine’s potential for aging.
