Tasting Notes

Dark and brooding with suggestions of rosemary, sage, and chalk dust giving way to red currants and blackberry. The palate reveals elegant red and black fruits carried across vibrant acidity, with notes of Mediterranean spices, tobacco, and dark chocolate. Well-integrated tannins provide structure while hints of sweet sage and violet florals emerge on the lingering finish with a subtle licorice tinge.
