On the palate, the wine unfolds with a luxurious depth, showcasing a spectrum of dark fruit flavors, accented by notes of vanilla, mocha, and a touch of spice. The tannins are robust yet refined, providing a firm structure that supports the wine's opulent fruit character. The finish is long and satisfying, with a lingering essence of ripe berries and a velvety smoothness.
