NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Cabernet Sauvignon opens with a captivating bouquet of dark berries, blackcurrants, and ripe plums, complemented by notes of black pepper, tobacco, and subtle oak.On the palate, it is full-bodied with firm tannins and bright acidity, providing a structured and harmonious mouthfeel. The rich fruit flavors are layered with hints of spice and a touch of minerality, leading to a long and satisfying finish. This wine pairs excellently with grilled meats, hearty stews, or aged cheeses and is best enjoyed after a few years of cellaring to allow the flavors to evolve and integrate beautifully.
