TASTING NOTES:

Nose: The nose entices with hints of ripe black fruit, laced with layers of spice and earth. It’s an olfactory call to action that prepares your senses for the forthcoming taste odyssey

Palate: Upon evolution on the palate, abundant dark berry flavours are met with a rich undercurrent of liquorice and espresso. Its voluptuous depth is kept taut by a resonance of dark chocolate nuances serving only to underscore its brooding richness

Finish: The finish is long, graceful, and endlessly complex, echoing notes of cocoa, liquorice, and balsamic spice — a true expression of the Bolgheri terroir’s depth and finesse.
