Tasting note
The wine offers intense aromas of dark fruits like blackberries and plums, with spicy notes of black pepper and cloves, alongside earthy and floral hints. On the palate, it is full-bodied and well-structured, featuring ripe dark fruit flavors, velvety tannins, and balanced acidity, with layers of licorice, cocoa, and balsamic. The finish is long and complex.
