The nose is a symphony of dark berries, notably blackcurrants and blackberries, mingling with subtle hints of cedar, vanilla, and a touch of earthiness. On the palate, this wine unfolds with grace, showcasing a well-balanced structure, supple tannins, and a core of ripe fruit. Black cherry and plum flavors dance harmoniously, complemented by a subtle spiciness and a whisper of cocoa. Its elegant finish lingers with a touch of graphite.
