NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

On the nose, Alpha One offers a complex bouquet of aromas.Notes of ripe blackberries, dark cherries, and plums intertwine with hints of vanilla, cedar, and a touch of spice. These aromas create a captivating and inviting profile that entices the senses. The palate of Alpha One is equally impressive. It boasts a full-bodied structure with velvety tannins that provide a luxurious mouthfeel. The flavors mirror the aromas, with luscious dark fruits taking center stage. The ripe blackberries and cherries are complemented by nuances of chocolate, tobacco, and a subtle earthiness. The wine's well-integrated oak adds depth and complexity, enhancing the overall flavor profile. Alpha One exhibits excellent balance and harmony, with a long and lingering finish that leaves a lasting impression.
