Appearance: Dark ruby color, almost violet, clear. The wine is full, expressive and shiny, with a moderate woody note – the wine is "chewy" and deeply anchored in the color of fragrant dark berries.
Aroma: Rich aroma of black raspberry, cherry and plum, with an addition of dark chocolate, smoke, coffee beans and exotic spices. A touch of wild flowers and vanilla, and a slight aroma of wood and tobacco.
Taste: Full-bodied, concentrated aromas of black fruits (raspberry, black cherry, blueberry). The texture is "chewy," distinctly tannic, yet silkily integrated. Food-friendly structure with pleasant acidity, balanced minerality and a creamy layer. The aftertaste is long-lasting, with noticeable notes of chocolate, coffee, vanilla and a slight saltiness.
Finish: Long and elegant finish, where structure, power and mineral depth remain. The wine develops beautifully – optimal enjoyment is expected between 2026–2036.
