Appearance: Intense, deep ruby red color with a slight violet hue. Dense texture when swirled indicates high concentration.
Aroma: Stunning nose opened by aromas of blackcurrant, blueberries, and blackberries, complemented by cedar, tobacco, and a slight smoky note. With further aeration, spices, a hint of chocolate, and mineral tones develop.
Taste: Full, firm, and velvety body, where notes of dark berries intertwine with spicy nuances (pepper, nutmeg). The tannins are fine and elegant, the alcohol nicely integrated. Acidity provides liveliness and balance, the oak influence is subtle but recognizable.
Finish: Very long, impressively refined, with preserved freshness, fruity-mineral nuances, and a slight woody-warm note lingering on the palate.
