🍷 In the Glass
Deep garnet with brick highlights—mature and elegant.

👃 On the Nose
Complex and savoury, with aromas of dried cherry, plum, tobacco, earthy spice, and a touch of cedar and leather.

🍷 On the Palate
Medium to full-bodied, with flavours of ripe red fruits, dried herbs, and savoury notes framed by firm tannins and vibrant acidity. The finish is long, dry, and characterful.

Drinking beautifully now with its developed character, but will hold gracefully for another 3–5 years.
