Color
Deep garnet with dark purple hues
Nose
Dark plum, blackberry, cassis. Higher-toned hint of cranberry. Crushed flowers and potpourri. Showy, oaky aromatics.
Palate
Focused and linear with vibrant acidity — more about precision than breadth. Powdery dark chocolate and cacao nibs. Saline, mouthwatering finish. Shows both structure and charm.
