Deep, intense, and beautifully structured, with aromas of blackberry, black currant, and ripe plum layered with violet, cedar, dark chocolate, and warm spice. The palate is full-bodied and concentrated, offering rich dark fruit, firm polished tannins, and subtle notes of tobacco and toasted oak. A long, powerful finish makes it an excellent match for grilled steak, braised meats, hearty stews, and aged cheeses.
