Tasting note
Intense ruby red in appearance, it opens with a refined bouquet of black cherry, plum, and sandalwood, accented by tomato leaf and a delicate mineral nuance of slate & graphite. On the palate, vibrant red fruit and gentle spice are balanced by silky tannins, culminating in a smooth mocha finish.
