A fascinatingly complex aroma that unfolds in stages: First, intense plum jam , followed by the sweetness of ripe blueberries and the fresh juice of pressed cherries . As the finish progresses, blackberries , blackcurrants , and refined notes of dark chocolate , espresso , and fine leather come to the fore.
Taste:
The palate is dominated by dark fruit aromas of blackberries and currants , complemented by gentle hints of plums , before an elegant spice of tobacco , black tea , and a hint of poppy seed swirl unfolds. The structure is balanced with robust acidity, fine fruit, and youthful yet high-quality tannins. The alcohol is noticeable but well-integrated. The wood remains in the background, clearly allowing the varietal character to take center stage.
Character:
A complex, deep, medium-bodied Merlot whose true potential will fully unfold over the next 2–3 years. Already impressive now, but with further aging potential for lovers of structurally sophisticated wines.
