About Product

The wine presents a deep, dark ruby color. The nose is aromatic and complex, offering rich scents of ripe blackberries, cassis, and plums, with underlying notes of cedar, tobacco, and graphite. On the palate, it is full-bodied, with silky tannins, vibrant acidity, and a layer of dark fruit flavors complemented by subtle spice and earthy nuances. The finish is long and elegant, with well-integrated oak and fine mineral notes.
