Tasting Notes (Typical Vintage)

• Color: A deep, vibrant ruby, maturing into a beautiful garnet hue.
• Nose: Complex and highly aromatic, featuring layers of ripe black cherry, raspberry, and blackcurrant, underpinned by delicate floral notes of rose and violet, with hints of fine oak and sweet spice.
• Palate: Full-bodied yet exquisitely elegant. The attack is smooth, expanding into a powerful, complex mid-palate structured by fine, polished tannins. The finish is persistent and luscious, often showing savory notes of licorice, tobacco, and earthy truffle.
