Tasting Notes:

• The wine opens with dense dark woodland fruits, layered with vibrant red berry aromas. Slatey minerality and subtle balsamic and cedary notes provide a refined backbone.
• On the palate, the dark berry fruit builds on the mid-palate, surging into a long, structured finish. Round and velvety in texture.
• The taut, sinewy tannins and bright acidity give the wine strength and balance on the finish.
