Tasting Notes (Typical Vintage Profile)
- Appearance: Deep, vibrant ruby red.
- Nose: An alluring bouquet of concentrated dark fruits (blackcurrant, plum), layered with sweet spice, cedar, tobacco, and a signature hint of eucalyptus.
- Palate: Rich, full, and impeccably balanced. The texture is velvety, supported by polished, fine-grained tannins. The vibrant black fruit core is lifted by a fresh acidity, leading to a long, persistent, and elegant finish. A wine of instant gratification with serious aging potential.
