Appearance: Vivid ruby-garnet color, opaque, with high color concentration. Optically dense, elegant viscosity.
Aroma: Primary aromas are ripe dark fruit (blackberry, cherry, raspberry), spices, and black fruit syrup. Secondary hints of cedar, patchouli, strong spices, and slight earthiness. Tertiary notes of cigar box (tobacco), dry herbal notes, vanilla, and subtle oak smoke.
Taste: Completely dry (~1 g/l), full-bodied with dense, structured tannins, high acidity (~6.49 g/l, pH 3.33). Fruit cores (black cherry, blackberry) are supported by notes of spices, lavender, and a slight alcohol kick (14% ABV). The texture is strong yet thoughtful, with a silky finish.
Finish: Long and intense aftertaste, where the fruit-spice dynamic returns with a mineral structure. Persistent, layered finish with both elegance and power.
