Tasting notes:
This wine presents a deep ruby hue with a cherry rim, showcasing a complex bouquet of plums, Indian spices, and subtle leather notes, complemented by a hint of celery leaf and stewed berry fruit. On the palate, it is fleshy and chewy, revealing intense, almost raisined fruit flavors alongside grippy, leafy tannins and a touch of green peppercorn. The wine exhibits a balanced structure, with a mid-weight body that offers warmth and a refreshing crisp acidity. Layers of dark, overripe red forest fruits and a whisper of blackberry jam add to its appeal, while the finish is marked by a delightful bitterness reminiscent of cherry. Overall, this wine is clean, fresh, and quite charming, with a moderate depth and fair length.
