The wine opens with aromas of ripe cherry, raspberry, blackberry, plum, dark fruit, violet, gentle spice, earthy notes, and subtle oak. On the palate, it is elegant and structured, with fine tannins, fresh acidity, dark red fruit, savoury depth, and a long mineral finish.

Serving Suggestion

Serve slightly cool at around 15°C–16°C. Open 30 minutes before drinking to let the cherry, raspberry, dark fruit, spice, earth, and old-vine texture become more expressive. For a softer and more aromatic profile, serve in a Burgundy glass and allow the wine to breathe gently.
