Appearance
Deep dark ruby to purple color with a dense core and pronounced brilliance.
Nose
An intense and highly characterful aromatic profile with notes of blackcurrant, blackberry, black cherry, and plum, complemented by aromas of violet, vanilla, coffee, tobacco, and dark chocolate.
Palate
A full-bodied, rich, and structured wine with pronounced tannins and very good balance between power and freshness.
Notes of dark berries, red currant, vanilla, sweet spices, coffee, and slight smoky tones are present. Despite its concentration, the wine remains lively and elegant.
Finish
A long and intense finish with persistent notes of black fruit, cocoa, tobacco, and vanilla. The finish feels rich yet very balanced.
