Deep, inky purple with nearly opaque intensity, hinting at the wine’s richness and structure.

Powerful and complex, with intense aromas of blackberry, black cherry, and plum, intertwined with layers of violets, dried herbs, and earthy tobacco. Notes of dark chocolate, espresso, and baking spice from oak aging add depth, while hints of crushed graphite and leather provide an intriguing, rustic edge.

Full-bodied and robust, showcasing massive tannins and vibrant acidity that give the wine incredible structure and longevity. Flavors of ripe black fruit, cassis, and dried figs lead into secondary notes of licorice, black pepper, and balsamic reduction. The oak influence adds a touch of vanilla and spice, rounding out the intense tannic grip.

Exceptionally long, with persistent dark fruit, minerality, and a bold tannic presence that promises outstanding aging potential.
