The palate is bold and intense, with a harmonious balance between the ripe dark fruits and the oak influence. Silky tannins and a touch of acidity provide a refined structure, allowing this wine to be enjoyed now or cellared for further complexity over the coming years. A persistent finish reveals lingering flavors of dark chocolate, blackcurrant, and vanilla spice.Appearance
Deep ruby red with a slight garnet rim, the wine displays a rich and inviting color, indicative of its extended aging in oak.
Aroma
On the nose, the wine opens with lifted aromas of ripe blackberries, dark cherries, and cassis, complemented by notes of cedar, vanilla, and a hint of dried herbs. Subtle oak spices from the American oak aging contribute to its aromatic complexity, enhancing the overall depth of the wine.
