Deep, opaque ruby with hints of garnet at the rim.
NOSE:
Complex aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, and ripe plum, intertwined with earthy undertones of tobacco, leather, and a subtle hint of graphite. Floral notes of violet and spices like clove and black pepper add further depth.
TASTE:
Full-bodied and powerful, with concentrated flavors of dark fruit, such as cassis, black cherry, and blueberry, balanced by savory, herbal elements and a touch of mocha. The wine's tannins are firm yet velvety, providing structure without overpowering the fruit. The acidity is well-balanced, ensuring freshness and longevity.
FINISH:
Long and elegant, with lingering notes of dark fruit, spice, and a touch of minerality, signaling the wine's potential for aging.
