Tasting Notes – The Sommelier’s View

• **Color:** A deep, vibrant garnet-purple, hinting at the wine’s concentration and depth.
• **Nose:** An explosive and complex bouquet featuring layers of ripe black fruit (blackberry, dark cherry), intertwined with classic, luxurious notes of black truffle, cedar, licorice, and a distinct chalky minerality.
• **Palate:** Full-bodied yet beautifully balanced. The entry is rich and plush, leading to a core of concentrated dark fruit framed by ultra-fine, velvety tannins. The finish is long, fresh, and persistent, a testament to its exceptional aging capacity.

Pairing & Serving Suggestions

This is a wine that demands a culinary partner worthy of its stature. Serve between 60-64°F (16-18°C). Decanting for a minimum of two hours is highly recommended for younger vintages to allow the wine to fully express its complex aromatics.
