Nose: A highly complex and evolved bouquet, with aromas of dried roses, violets, earthy truffle, and forest floor. Secondary notes of dried red fruits like cherries and raspberries, along with leather, tobacco, and a hint of balsamic, create a sophisticated and captivating fragrance.

The wine presents flavours of dried red fruit, tobacco, leather, and truffle, complemented by nuances of liquorice, balsamic, and a touch of anise. The acidity, though mellowed, still provides freshness and balance, ensuring a harmonious profile.
Finish: Long, smooth, and elegant, with lingering notes of dried fruit, spice, and a delicate minerality. The wine finishes with a refined complexity that reflects its age and careful winemaking.
