Luscious blueberry aromas vibrate with a dry core of tannins and open black-currant flavors. The wine has an opulent character. Layers of acidity and tannins finish with dark black fruits.

Blackcurrants and graphite aromas lead to a medium-bodied palate with very fine tannins and a savory finish. The wine is fluid and subtle, with stone and dusty mineral character appearing toward the end.
