Appearance: The wine boasts a deep scarlet red color.
Aroma: We detect a seductive bouquet with lush Barossa fruit, dark berries, and plums, highlighted by a touch of cardamom, cinnamon, lavender, and orange. Later, the scent of cocoa butter and hints of tiramisu also appear. The oak is perfectly integrated and subtly noticeable through elegant aromas of cedar and vanilla.
Taste: On the palate, it expresses an almost baroque fullness, yet with clear structure and balance, without excess or over-extraction. The alcohol remains on the edge, while the perfect interplay of juicy Barossa fruit (blueberries, blackberries), French oak, and ripe tannins is expressed. The wine finishes full, dense, with exceptional length.
Finish: The wine boasts exceptional complexity and harmony between fruity, spicy, and woody notes, which intertwine in a long and seductive finish.
