THE WINE
“...dripping with fruit
compote flavors, including
fig, boysenberry, blackcurrant and plum, while
warmed fruitcake and melted
black licorice notes weave in
and out. Cuts a wide swath
on the finish, as tar and warm
hummus notes provide a
dark backdrop.”

Within the glass, the wine unfurls,
presenting a deep, saturated purple hue
that beckons the senses. Its aromatic
profile is a nuanced interplay of currants,
tobacco, truffle, and earth, a symphony
of fragrances that captivates the senses
from the very first encounter. Upon the
first sip, one is immediately entranced
by the opulent softness of the wine’s
initial entry, leading to a mouthwatering
palate, adorned with rich, supple tannin.
The wine’s concentration and potency
are seamlessly balanced by a velvety
texture that carries through to a finish of
remarkable length and depth. While the
wine’s structure is poised for extended
aging, the presence of ample tannins
ensures its capacity to evolve and develop
gracefully over time.
