Deep ruby core with a youthful purple rim, indicating vibrancy and freshness. This wine is expressive and layered, opening with ripe black cherry, cassis, and blackberry compote. Subtle undertones of violets, graphite, and dark chocolate weave through, joined by hints of toasted vanilla, clove, and cedar from well-integrated oak aging. 

The palate is full-bodied yet elegantly structured. Rich flavors of blackcurrant, plum, and mocha, underscored by savory herbs and crushed rock minerality. Tannins are firm but finely grained, providing a supple texture and age-worthy backbone. Acidity is vibrant, balancing the richness and enhancing length.
