Notes

Inviting aromas of ripe blackberry, black cherry, plum, and wild berries, complemented by notes of violets, licorice, cocoa, graphite, and subtle baking spices. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is rich and velvety, with supple tannins, lively acidity, and layers of dark fruit balanced by hints of crushed stone and refined oak. The finish is smooth, persistent, and beautifully balanced, showcasing elegance and value.
