In the glass

Deep garnet-ruby red with a dark, opaque core; slight signs of development at the rim in mature vintages.

On the nose

Complex aroma profile of black plum, cassis, and ripe cherries. Cedarwood, cigar box, vanilla, and subtle balsamic notes indicate long aging. With aeration, leather and tobacco emerge.

On the palate

Full-bodied, dense yet silky tannins. The acidic structure is robust, ensuring aging potential. The finish is long, spicy, and with persistent fruit presence.

Dry-aged beef, rack of lamb, mature hard cheeses, wild duck breast with truffle reduction.
