It opens with a complex aromatic profile featuring black cherry, wild berries, pine resin, oyster shell, and iodine, underscored by savory umami notes. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied yet refined, with powdery tannins providing structure and a firm backbone. Flavors of wild blackberry, cola, and spiced cherry are complemented by earthy undertones and crushed granite, leading to a long, mineral-driven finish. The wine's vibrant acidity and coiled tension suggest excellent aging potential, with a recommended drinking window extending from 2026 to 2046. |
