The aromas are beautifully integrated, creating a harmonious and inviting experience. The palate is equally impressive, with a full-bodied and velvety texture that coats the mouth. The wine displays a perfect balance between the rich fruit flavors and the well-integrated oak notes. Ripe black cherries, plums, and cassis dominate the palate, accompanied by nuances of spices, leather, and a touch of graphite. The tannins are firm yet polished, providing structure and ensuring a long and graceful aging potential.
