• Palate: The attack is silky and full-bodied, offering a rich, velvety texture. The mid-palate is structured by fine, well-integrated tannins, delivering a beautiful density and gourmand flavors of dark fruit and sweet spices.
• Finish: Long, elegant, and persistent, showcasing the subtle, signature minerality of the Graves terroir.
