The nose is layered and precise, with aromas of blackcurrant, dark cherry, cedar, tobacco, and subtle graphite, complemented by hints of violet and gentle spice.\n\nOn the palate, it is structured yet graceful, combining ripe dark fruit with fine tannins, fresh acidity, and a mineral backbone that keeps the wine vibrant.
