Tasting Notes
This wine boasts a deep black color with purple highlights, offering an intense, captivating visual experience. Its concentrated nose seduces with aromas of spices, notably black pepper and clove, combined with notes of black fruit jelly, blackberries and graphite. On the palate, the attack is full-bodied and fleshy, with velvety tannins providing a silky texture. Tasting reveals remarkable depth and digestibility, with a finish where ripe black fruit flavors mingle harmoniously with hints of cedar, reduced juice and tapenade.
