Sommelier Tasting Profile

• Appearance: Intense garnet red with vibrant ruby reflections.
• Nose: A powerful and complex bouquet. Dominant notes of black cherry, macerated Morello cherry, and cassis, evolving into earthy forest floor, musk, and a subtle spice/licorice undertone.
• Palate: The entry is structured and full-bodied, yet surprisingly elegant. Fine, well-integrated tannins provide a solid backbone for aging. The finish is long, fresh, and persistent, a true testament to the appellation’s pedigree.
