Appearance: Deep violet-black color, high concentration.
Aroma: Intense aromatic profile: creamy blackcurrant jam, fresh blueberries, camphor, florals, cedar, chocolate, and tobacco.
Palate: Full and luxurious, with velvety tannins, featuring ripe fruit (blackcurrant, plums), mineral notes, spices (cinnamon, clove), smoke, and earth.
Finish: Long and elegantly mineral, with balance, smoothness, and potential for long aging (2030–2060).
