Tasting notes
Complex and elegant nose revealing dark cherry, dried roses, and subtle baking spices intertwined with hints of tobacco and forest floor. The palate shows remarkable depth with concentrated red fruit, particularly sour cherry and wild strawberry, supported by fine-grained tannins and bright acidity. Notes of Mediterranean herbs, leather, and a touch of dark chocolate emerge mid-palate. The finish is persistent and refined, showcasing the masterful balance between fruit intensity and structural integrity characteristic of this legendary producer.
