Appearance
Deep ruby-red colour with garnet reflections.
Dense, elegant and beautifully concentrated.
Nose
The bouquet is rich, complex and refined.
Aromas of black cherry, ripe plum, blackberry and blackcurrant dominate the nose. These are complemented by dark chocolate, cedar, tobacco, vanilla and sweet spices.
With aeration, notes of leather, Mediterranean herbs and subtle minerality emerge.
Palate
Dry full-bodied red wine with rich structure and silky tannins.
Flavours of ripe dark fruit, plum compote, blackberry, cocoa and dark chocolate unfold across the palate. French oak ageing contributes elegant notes of vanilla, toasted hazelnut and sweet spices.
Despite its concentration, the wine remains fresh, precise and beautifully balanced.
The texture is velvety, with perfectly integrated tannins.
Finish
Long, elegant and complex finish with lingering notes of black fruit, dark chocolate, cedar and sweet spices.
The finish remains harmonious, mineral and remarkably persistent.
