Palate: On the palate, the wine is perfectly balanced, combining richness with freshness. The silky, well-integrated tannins offer a velvety texture. Dark fruit flavors are complemented by hints of licorice, chocolate, coffee, and sweet spices. The finish is long and persistent, with refreshing acidity that brings elegance to the wine.
