The nose opens tightly but with intensity—deep black fruits like cassis and blackberry emerge alongside graphite, cigar wrapper, violet, and dark chocolate. On the palate, it’s full‑bodied and incredibly concentrated, with plush, velvety tannins framing layers of ripe black fruit, crushed stone, and an undercurrent of smoky spice. The wine finishes long, precise, and majestic—balanced tension and depth suggest this will evolve beautifully for decades.
