A pleasant, earthy bouquet of dark fruit mingles with delicate floral hints and subtle herbal undertones, complemented by a touch of smoky oak and underbrush. On the palate, flavors of blueberry, black plum, delicate florals, subtle herbs, and hints of licorice are prominent. The well-integrated tannins enhance its smooth, creamy mouthfeel, while the medium-long finish leaves behind a satisfying plum aftertaste. Excellent QPR.

In the glass, the wine reveals a deep magenta hue. An inviting nose of dark fruit, cedar, sweet tobacco, potting soil, and violet creates a rich and earthy bouquet. On the palate, flavors of blackberry and blueberry are complemented by hints of dark chocolate, leather, and espresso, all enveloped by plush yet grippy tannins. The wine's excellent balance is evident, with well-integrated acidity providing freshness and structure to the palate.

Displaying a rich, garnet hue, the wine presents a bouquet marked by dark fruits, including ripe black currants, alongside earthy notes of forest floor and mushrooms. Herbal hints of thyme, sage, and mint add complexity, with a subtle floral undertone, reminiscent of violet. The well-balanced palate reveals additional fruit notes of early picked blackberry cassis, and red plum. Bright acidity and soft tannins help create a pleasant mouthfeel. The finish is medium-long with a lingering tartness.
