A Sensory Journey

Pour a glass and marvel at its deep garnet-purple hue, a visual prelude to its aromatic complexity. The nose bursts with intense black fruit notes—crème de cassis, plum preserves, and wild blueberries—interwoven with subtle hints of cedar, menthol, and earthy undertones. On the palate, it reveals a medium-to-full body with layers of vibrant, bold flavors, supported by a firm, grainy tannin structure that lingers into a long, mineral-driven finish.

Perfect for Collectors & Connoisseurs
