In the glass, it reveals a dense purple color with ruby highlights. The nose is intense and layered, offering aromas of ripe red berries, blackcurrant, mocha, liquorice, and floral notes of peony. The palate is opulent and complex, featuring black fruit, dark chocolate, and silky tannins. Full-bodied and structured, it finishes long and velvety, with impressive aromatic depth and freshness. A superb wine that beautifully balances richness and finesse.
