TASTING NOTES:

Nose: The bouquet opens with rich aromas of dark and red berries – blackcurrant, plum – combined with notes of cedar, cigar box, graphite and dried herb‑leaf (especially mint or cassis leaf). A subtle vanilla‑oak spice and tobacco hint complete the picture.

Palate: Full‑bodied with fine balance: the fruit core delivers ripe dark fruit flavours (blackberry/blueberry) while the tannins are firm yet elegant, supported by bright acidity and polished oak integration. Expect dark chocolate or salted liquorice notes on the finish.

Finish: Long and refined, leaving lingering impressions of dark fruit, graphite, cedary spice and mineral undertones. The wine sustains its depth without being over‑oaked or heavy.
