Appearance: Deep ruby-garnet color (mature red undertones), clear and richly saturated structure; medium to full body with smooth, well-developed richness.
Aroma: Complex and elegant nose: ripe fruit (blackberries, currants, cherries), together with violets, squid, caramelized fruit, and discreet spice notes (black pepper, tobacco) as well as floral tones. The aroma is deep and refined.
Palate: Dry, medium-bodied with a pleasantly fresh acidity, smooth yet well-structured tannins. The fruitiness is intense (plum, apricot, blackberries), supported by a mineral core, with subtle spice notes and a herbal emphasis. The balance is pronounced and harmonious.
Finish: Long-lasting aftertaste: the fruitiness develops into a slight spicy and mineral note, with harmonious acidity and finely integrated wood. Drinkable now, with good aging potential through 2025–2028.
