Deep, inky crimson with a vibrant purple rim, reflecting the richness and concentration of the wine. Lifted aromas of  black brambly fruit and ripe plums are layered with clove, nutmeg, and brown spice. Hints of cassis and milk chocolate intertwine with notes of caramel and a gentle lift of white pepper, adding both depth and complexity. Rich and generous, the palate flows with bright, juicy fruit mirroring the nose, dark berries and plums wrapped in suede-like tannins that lend a velvety texture. Soft acidity keeps the wine lively and balanced, leading to a long, plush finish.
