Appearance: Deep garnet-purple with an almost opaque center, indicating the wine’s concentration and aging potential.

Nose: The nose is intense and complex, revealing profound notes of blackberry preserves, plum pudding, and crème de cassis. Complementary accents of grilled meats, sandalwood, cinnamon stick, and fenugreek add layers of intrigue, along with delicate hints of dried roses, unsmoked cigars, and tilled soil.

Palate: The medium to full-bodied palate is densely packed with ripe black fruits, including blackberry, blue, and red fruit undertones. The tannins are exceptionally firm and ripe, providing a robust structure, while the wine maintains seamless freshness. Additional flavors of graphite, blueberry, violet, and a touch of Indian ink enhance its depth. The finish is remarkably long, earth-laced, and accompanied by a touch of effervescence that adds to its complexity.

Texture: The tannins are polished and well-integrated, contributing to the wine’s refined and focused character. The acidity is vibrant, balancing the richness of the fruit and contributing to a dynamic mouthfeel.
