TASTINGNOTES

To begin with, the nose is remarkably complex, revealing black cherry, ripe plum and blackberry. Additionally, notes of graphite, dark chocolate and sweet spice emerge. On the palate, the wine is powerful yet precise, with finely woven tannins and vibrant acidity. Therefore, the finish is exceptionally long, layered and refined.
