The wine showcases a dense, inky colour and offers rich aromas of blackberry, cassis and mocha, along with notes of cedar, graphite and tobacco. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, with opulent fruit flavours, velvety tannins, and well-integrated oak, all balanced by a bright acidity. The finish is long and lingering, showcasing the wine`s complexity and aging potential.
