The wine presents a rich, dark purple-red hue, nearly opaque. On the nose, there’s a savory mix of deep, dark fruits. The palate starts off fresh and juicy with flavors of black fruits, transitioning into more complex, tar-like and licorice notes on the mid-palate. Fine, tight tannins give it structure, adding a slight bitterness as they dry the finish. The alcohol contributes warmth and smoothness to the overall mouthfeel. The wine closes with earthy undertones and a lingering hint of bitter licorice.
