On the nose, this wine offers a complex bouquet of dark fruits, such as blackberry and blackcurrant, intertwined with hints of cedar, tobacco, and a touch of vanilla. These aromas are a testament to the wine's aging in oak barrels, which adds depth and complexity to the overall profile.
The palate is equally impressive, with a full-bodied and velvety texture that coats the mouth. The flavors of ripe black fruits continue to dominate, accompanied by notes of dark chocolate, espresso, and a subtle earthiness. The tannins are well-integrated, providing structure and balance to the wine, while the acidity adds a refreshing lift.
The finish is long and lingering, leaving a lasting impression of elegance and sophistication. This wine has the potential to age gracefully for many years, allowing its flavors to further develop and evolve.
