Appearance: Deep ruby-garnet color with a dark core — the classic look of a mature Bordeaux Grand Cru wine, indicating fruit concentration and structure.
Nose: The nose opens with ripe dark fruits — baked blackberries, cherries, and black raspberries — supported by a hint of toasty oak, chocolate, and a touch of coffee. The aromatic profile may also include subtle earthy notes, smoked wood, and herbal undertones that develop with air.
Taste: Medium-full to full-bodied, with ripe fruit and fine yet structured tannins. The fruit profile is balanced and supported by gentle spiciness, mineral nuances, and the freshness of a core of acidity. The texture is smooth, with well-integrated elements of wood and tannins, giving the wine a harmonious feel.
Finish: The finish is medium-long to long, with persistence of dark fruit, spices, and a subtle mineral imprint. The wine shows elegance and structure, with the potential to age in the cellar for several more years.
