Appearance:
A deep garnet-red hue with violet reflections, signaling richness and intensity from the first glance.

Aromas:
An expressive and layered nose. Juicy black fruits – blackcurrants, blueberries, blackberries – mingle with red cherry, raspberry, and hints of pomegranate. Floral tones of violets lift the bouquet, while undertones of licorice, tobacco leaf, and oriental spice add depth and intrigue.

Palate:
Full-bodied, structured, and charismatic. The fusion of four bold varietals is masterfully handled, delivering dark fruit richness supported by ripe, grippy tannins. The 12-month French oak aging introduces elegance and smoothness, alongside notes of sweet spice, cocoa, and a savory tobacco finish. A wine of great personality and persistence.

Finish:
Long and satisfying, with a warm, spicy resonance and lingering dark fruit on the aftertaste.

• Red meats: roast beef, grilled lamb, venison, wild boar
• Game dishes with berry sauces
• Mature cheeses: Roquefort, Gorgonzola
