Nose | The nose is filled with aromas of red and black fruits, smoke, sweet spice, leather, and a vibrant minerality. |
Palate | The palate is balanced, well-rounded, and complex with flavours of damson fruits, crushed blackberries, and more sweet spice and smoke from the nose. The finish is very long and mineral. |
