On the nose, it offers an enticing bouquet of dark fruits, including blackberry and plum, complemented by notes of black pepper, licorice, and subtle oak. The palate is full-bodied and rich, with velvety tannins and a balanced acidity that enhances its structure. Flavors of dark chocolate and espresso emerge alongside the fruit, leading to a long, lingering finish with hints of spice and earthiness. This wine is best enjoyed with hearty dishes or aged cheeses, and it will continue to develop in the bottle for years to come.
