Appearance: Deep ruby-garnet color with pleasant violet highlights, indicating good concentration and maturity of the phenols. The wine is clear, intense, and visually suggests a balance between structure and fruitiness.
Aroma: Expressive fruit-spice profile with dominant aromas of dark cherries, blackberries, plums, and blackcurrant, complemented by delicate herbal and spiced notes. Subtle fruity mineral character is also present, along with light touches of wood, which together add complexity and depth.
Taste: On the palate, the wine has a medium-full to full body with a well-structured profile and well-balanced tannins. The fruit profile continues the nose’s character—with ripe red and black berries, complemented by slight earthy and spicy nuances. The acidity is present enough to maintain freshness, while the tannins are integrated and provide good structure for aging.
Finish: Medium-length to long, with a persistent fruity impression, subtle mineral nuances, and a well-integrated structure of wood and tannins. The wine is at its best for drinking, yet still shows potential for further aging for the next 5–10 years and beyond.
