This wine smells of luscious blackberries, black cassis, spices, tobacco, leather, and graphite, with a hint of violets. On the palate, it offers a smooth, concentrated blend of dark black fruits, balanced acidity, and ripe tannins. The texture is silky, making it a delightful choice even though it's still young. The wine finishes with a pleasing mix of spice and mineral notes, hinting at its potential for aging.
