Appearance: Deep garnet-ruby color with violet hues; medium body, clear and saturated structure.
Aroma: Elegant and complex aroma composed of blackcurrant, blackberry, black cherry with added layers of cedar, tobacco, herbs, graphite, and floral notes such as violet and an earthy mineral touch.
Taste: Harmonious structure on the palate: ripe black fruit with a spicy touch, unforced oak note, and fresh acidity. The tannins are finely polished and silky, and the aftertaste is harmonious and lingering.
Finish: Long and balanced aftertaste: the fruit blends with spices and a mineral background. The wine can be enjoyed now, but will reach optimal maturity with further aging until 2033–2042.
