Appearance: Dark ruby color with a deep core and strong pigmentation — visually perceptible concentration. The color is dense and almost impenetrable in the center, indicating full ripeness, rich structure, and aging potential.
Aroma: The nose reveals ripe, concentrated fruit — black cherries, plums, blackberries, often accompanied by notes of cocoa, dark chocolate, espresso, roasted coffee beans, dark spices, a slight minerality, and vanilla from oak. With extended breathing, a subtle hint of leather or smoky notes appears, adding complexity.
Taste: Full-bodied, with pronounced ripe dark fruit — black cherries, plums, blackberries — accompanied by a slight salty-mineral note characteristic of limestone terroir, and well-structured, soft tannins. The acidity is sufficiently present to maintain freshness and balance, the tannins are silky, the aftertaste is rich and layered, with chocolate and spicy nuances and a slight note of smoke or minerality. The structure is harmonious, the texture smooth and full, with a good mouthfeel and body.
Finish: The finish is long and elegant, with persistent notes of dark fruit, spices, chocolate, coffee, and subtle minerality. The wine leaves a sense of depth and fullness — the aftertaste is clean, refined, and sophisticated, indicating good aging potential. Ideally enjoyed between approximately 2024 and 2037.
