Appearance: Deep ruby–garnet color with an almost black core and violet reflections. The wine appears clear and intense, indicating concentration and good phenolic ripeness.
Aroma: On the nose, it starts with dark fruit — blackberries, cherries, and mulberries — intertwined with herbal and bright spicy nuances (bay leaf), delicate floral notes (iris), and a hint of Mediterranean herbs. The layered profile also includes notes of black olive, herbs, and a slight smokiness, adding complexity and depth.
Taste: Full to medium-full body with a ripe yet beautifully structured profile. The tannins are fine and elegant, with well-integrated fruit — dark fruit dominates, complemented by subtle aromas of spices and mineral components. The acidity is balanced, invigorates the aftertaste, and adds freshness, with a slightly spicy finish.
Finish: Long-lasting aftertaste with persistent fruitiness, gentle spicy and mineral tones that linger. The wine is elegant, harmonious, and has the potential for long-term aging. Due to the good balance between tannins, fruit, and freshness, it will continue to develop over the years.
