Appearance
Deep ruby-purple color with a lively sheen and elegant density.
Nose
A complex and distinctly characterful aromatic profile with notes of black cherry, plum, blackberry and blueberry, complemented by aromas of dark chocolate, tobacco, licorice, coffee and subtle herbal tones.
Palate
Medium to full-bodied with a distinctly silky texture and lively freshness. The wine combines ripe dark fruit, minerality and elegant structure.
There are notes of cherry, plum, blackberry, dark chocolate, tobacco and lightly earthy tones. The tannins are fine, soft and very well integrated, while the finish remains energetic and long.
Finish
A long and elegant finish with persistent notes of dark fruit, cocoa, tobacco and subtle minerality. The wine remains very fresh and precise even on the finish.
