Delve deeper, and you’ll discover layers of dried cherries, strawberries, and aromatic herbs, complemented by a touch of yellow citrus and a whisper of dark chocolate. On the palate, it delivers a firm, crisp attack with super-ripe, sweet tannins that are both muscular and refined. The 14.5% alcohol is expertly balanced, ensuring a harmonious finish that lingers long after the last sip.
