The palate is rich and full-bodied, with velvety tannins that provide a smooth and luxurious mouthfeel. Flavors of black cherries, cassis, and dark chocolate dominate, accompanied by a touch of earthiness that adds complexity and depth. The wine's well-balanced acidity and integrated oak contribute to a long and lingering finish.
