The Appearance: Mature, translucent garnet-brick red with mahogany amber rim variations and fine vinous legs clinging to the glass.
The Aroma: Ethereal, aristocratic, and tertiary-rich. Opens with pronounced notes of cassis, dried blackberries, aged saddle leather, and cooling eucalyptus, expanding into damp forest floor, cigar box cedar, and delicate cocoa nougat.
The Palate: Silky, harmoniously integrated, and deeply complex. Mature dark fruit gives way to noble toasted wood spice, balsamic depth, and gentle savory umami, supported by a balanced 5.4 g/L acidity and 22 g/L natural residual grape sugar.
The Finish: Monumental, long, and contemplative, leaving a lingering trail of cedarwood, dried dark berries, and savory forest soil without cloying sweetness.
