Tasting Notes (Sommelier Profile)
- Appearance: A deep, inky purple, almost black, with vibrant violet edges.
- Nose: Intense and complex, revealing layers of dark fruit (blackberry, cassis, blueberry) intertwined with floral notes of violet, graphite, and a distinctive chalky minerality.
- Palate: Possessing majestic concentration, the mouthfeel is silky yet structured by aristocratic, ultra-fine-grained tannins. The vibrant, high-altitude acidity provides a rare tension, leading to a long finish marked by notes of cocoa, tobacco leaf, and wet stone. A perfect balance of power and elegance.
Pairing & Service Recommendations
This wine demands a meal of equal stature. Decant for a minimum of 90 minutes and serve at 60-65°F (16-18°C) to fully unlock its complexity.
- Suggested Pairings: Prime beef cuts, game meats, sophisticated braised dishes.
- Cellaring Potential: Exceptional. Will age gracefully and gain complexity over 10 to 20 years.
