Appearance: Deep ruby red color with violet reflections; high saturation and often described as "inky." Clarity is exceptional, viscosity is elegant.
Aroma: Rich and complex aroma: dark ripe fruit cores (blackcurrant, plums, black cherries), floral highlights (violet, rose), spices (cinnamon, cloves), as well as notes of spiced wood, mustard, dark chocolate, wild mint, and a hint of smoke. You can also expect notes of black tea and sandalwood.
Taste: Completely dry, medium to full-bodied, with salty, polished tannins and balanced acidity. The fruit profile includes blackcurrant, blueberries, preserved cherries, supported by earth, graphite, and minerality. The texture is silky, with fine wood and aromatic purity.
Finish: Long-lasting and sophisticated finish with smooth fruity returns, fine spicy echoes, and subtle mineral salinity. The tannins are silky, yet still structural.
