The wine presents intense aromas of blackberry compote, cassis, and fresh plum, complemented by notes of vanilla, crème brûlée, and cedar. This pronounced bouquet carries onto the palate, where powerful tannins create a rich, full mouthfeel. The intense berry fruit is enhanced by tightly woven hints of liquorice, chocolate, lead pencil, and tobacco, contributing to its refined complexity. The expressive fruit and spice harmonize with the bold tannins, leading to a dry, spicy finish. The depth and intensity of flavor suggest excellent aging potential.
