Tasting Notes

Color: Deep ruby red with garnet hues, indicating both youth and maturity.

Nose: The bouquet is complex and layered, offering a captivating blend of ripe red and black fruits such as cherries, plums, and blackberries. These fruit notes are complemented by secondary aromas of leather, tobacco, and spice, with hints of balsamic, vanilla, and cocoa. Subtle earthy undertones and a touch of dried herbs add to the wine’s aromatic depth.

Palate: Full-bodied and structured, the palate reveals rich flavors of dark fruit, particularly black cherries and plums, interwoven with savory notes of cedar, tobacco, and spices. The wine’s long aging in oak barrels adds layers of vanilla, chocolate, and a slight smokiness. Balanced by bright acidity and firm tannins, the wine maintains remarkable freshness and elegance despite its complexity. The finish is long and persistent, leaving a lasting impression of dark fruit, spice, and oak nuances.
