This wine captivates with its deep purple-ruby hue, suggesting richness and depth. The nose is seductive and expressive, offering an open and charming bouquet that is both fresh and complex. Aromas of ripe plum, black olives, blackcurrant, some floral notes, and earthy undertones with patinated horse saddle mingle with hints of cocoa, coffee, and tobacco, creating a seductive aromatic profile. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, silky smooth and elegantly structured. It delivers a voluptuous and fragrant experience, with silky tannins and a perfectly balanced integration of fruit, spices, and oak. Flavors unfold in layers— blackcurrant, leather, vanilla, chocolate, cacao powder and a toasty warmth—culminating in a long, vibrant, and gently lingering finish. This is a well-rounded and impressive wine that speaks of finesse and depth. In blind tasting, it could easily be pointed to top wines of St-Emilion Grand Cru.
