Tasting Note

Deep ruby in colour with garnet flashes, the wine is aromatically complex, offering intense notes of black cherry, crushed blackberry, fresh tobacco, and graphite, with lifted accents of violet, cedarwood, and iron-rich earth. On the palate, it is muscular yet poised, with finely etched tannins, cool-toned fruit, and a mineral core that drives through to a long, savoury finish. Layers of bramble fruit, green peppercorn, cocoa, and flint unfold slowly, revealing great precision and ageing potential. A bold, structured wine with a noble soul.
