The palate is bold yet refined, offering concentrated dark fruit framed by savory spice, subtle earth, and hints of cocoa and espresso. Bright natural acidity and firm, polished tannins provide balance and structure. Powerful and elegant, the finish is long and persistent, leaving lingering notes of dark fruit, pepper, and mineral-driven complexity.
