Videz: Deep and dark ruby-red color, almost black, with a high shine. Very viscous and clear structure, promising density.
Vonj: Exceptionally complex aroma: red berries (cherries, raspberries, strawberries) combined with herbs (cistus, lavender, thyme), black olives, smoked meat, espresso, anise, dark chocolate, and a hint of garrigue. The nose is intense and elegantly spiced.
Okus: Dry, full-bodied, exceptionally concentrated fruit (dark berries), strong yet finely tuned tannin framework. The flavor is accompanied by spices, strong minerality, fluid salinity, and the elegance of Mourvedre. Acidity provides freshness, and the structure holds the flavor for a long time.
Zaključek: Long-lasting, warm, and harmonious finish, where the fruitiness develops into a fruity-spiced finale with mineral and floral notes. Optimal drinking period: 2025–2045 (and beyond).
