👁

Appearance

Deep garnet with a ruby rim. Bright and clear, showing signs of maturity and careful aging.

👃

Nose (Aroma)

Elegant and complex. Aromas of ripe blackberries, plum compote, and black cherry lead the way, followed by layers of tobacco, cedar, cocoa powder, and well-integrated vanilla and spice from French oak. Subtle hints of licorice, balsamic herbs, and smoky minerals emerge with aeration.

👄

Palate

Full-bodied and structured, yet silky.

The entry is rich with dark fruit and evolves into savory and spicy notes—clove, toasted oak, mocha. Balanced acidity keeps it fresh, while fine-grained tannins provide grip and ageability. Long, persistent finish with lingering echoes of spice, smoke, and sweet tobacco.
