- Palate: Full-bodied and bold, this wine shows concentrated flavors of dark fruits like blackberry and plum, along with layers of spices and oak. The tannins are mature and structured, giving the wine a firm yet velvety finish.
- Finish: Long and persistent, with lingering dark fruit and spice notes.
