Appearance: Deep ruby–garnet color with violet hues and a clear structure. Medium to full body, attractive visual impression.
Aroma: Aromatics include ripe black fruit (currant, black cherry, raspberry), the sweetness of lychee and spices (black pepper, woody vanilla), with subtle notes of leather, cedar, and spice boxes. The nose is elegant and complex, without bitter herbal notes.
Taste: On the palate, medium-full body with well-integrated fruit structure and tannins without sharpness. Appropriate balance between fruit, acidity, and woody notes. The taste is marked by cherries, plums, and spices (nicely spiced). The finish is elegant and harmonious.
Finish: The finish is persistent, fruity-spicy, and structurally balanced. The wine is recommended to be enjoyed young, as it develops quickly and does not offer exceptional aging potential – the optimal drinking period is expected to be until 2030/2032.
