👁 In the Glass:
Deep garnet with purple hues — intense, rustic, and captivating.

👃 On the Nose:
Expressive and untamed, offering vivid aromas of fresh earth, blackberry, and wild herbs, intertwined with black pepper, bay leaf, clove, and a warm trace of cinnamon spice.

Full-bodied and structured, with a core of dark berry fruit and spiced plum, supported by firm, savoury tannins and a refreshing streak of bright acidity. The texture is robust yet balanced, leading into a dry, fresh, and persistent finish with lingering notes of earth, pepper, and Mediterranean garrigue.

Already impressive now, but will age gracefully over 10–15 years, developing deeper notes of leather, truffle, and dried herbs.
