Rich and full-bodied with a velvety mousse. Bold, ripe berry flavors dominate—blackcurrant, mulberry, and dark cherry—balanced by a fine acidity that keeps the wine lively and fresh. The sparkle lifts the intensity of the fruit while soft tannins provide structure and smoothness. Subtle notes of dark chocolate, liquorice, and a touch of earthiness enhance the complexity, while the finish is long and satisfying with lingering fruit and a faint touch of spice.Appearance
Deep, dark ruby red with a lively, persistent bead.
Aroma
Immediately aromatic and full of dark, luscious fruit—blackberry, plum, and ripe cherries—intertwined with a layer of mocha and subtle spice. A touch of licorice and black pepper adds complexity, while hints of chocolate and a slight vanilla creaminess emerge from the aging process, contributing to the wine's luxurious depth.
