Wine Description

In the glass, this wine exhibits an intense, deep garnet red colour with opaque ruby purple reflections. The nose is remarkably expressive and delicate, offering a complex bouquet of summer berries, blackcurrants, and blueberries layered with nuances of graphite, cedarwood, tobacco, and subtle toasted spices. On the palate, the attack is mellow, unfolding into a full bodied and concentrated structure marked by dense, velvety tannins and seamless integration of oak. It balances rich, generous dark fruits with a startling mineral core and vibrant freshness, leading to a juicy, precise, and remarkably persistent finish.
