Tasting Profile
- Color: Deep, dark ruby with an opaque core and purple reflections.
- Nose: An aromatically pleasing bouquet, featuring wild black berries, plum, and sweet red cherries, underscored by fine spices, cedar, and a hint of iron-like earthiness.
- Palate: Juicy, full-bodied, and complex. The texture is luscious and unctuously full-bodied, balanced by a fresh structure and a savory, salty minerality. Supple, silky tannins lead to a long, powerful, and mouthwatering finish.
