TASTING NOTES
Aromas of cassis, black cherry, dark plum, and blueberries intertwined with delicate notes of cedar, crushed stone, bay laurel, pipe tobacco, and dried flowers. On the palate, it is rich, velvety, and dense yet feels remarkably weightless. Ultra-fine, grainy tannins and vibrant acidity provide seamless balance, finishing with persistent savoury minerality, dark chocolate, and spice.
