Tasting Notes

The nose is intense and opulent, revealing aromas of ripe blackberries, plum, and black cherry, layered with notes of graphite, cocoa, spice, and finely integrated oak.

On the palate, it is full-bodied and powerful, with a dense core of dark fruit supported by rich, velvety tannins and remarkable depth. Hints of chocolate, licorice, and mineral undertones add complexity.

The finish is exceptionally long and persistent, with layers of fruit, spice, and structure that continue to evolve.
