The wine's initial impression is a vibrant burst of succulent blackberry on the nose. With a gentle swirl, deeper notes of black currant, brambleberry, and subtle hints of oak and toasted vanilla emerge. Upon sipping, a noticeable firm acidity leads to a rich array of dark black fruit flavors, complemented by a subtle touch of anise and a faint hint of leather. As the tasting experience unfolds, the palate is embraced by well-defined tannins that provide structure, leading to a lingering finish filled with flavors of chocolate, blueberry preserves, and aged cedar.
