Tasting notes
The nose is expressive, offering intense aromas of black fruits such as blackberries, elderberry jam, ripe black cherries, and plums, complemented by subtle hints of sloe. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied with a supple texture. It presents generous fruit flavours with good volume, nice length, and velvety tannins, leading to a long, persistent finish. The wine is balanced and dense, with powerful tannins that are beginning to soften, indicating its potential for further aging.
