Upon tasting, the palate unveils an exquisite tapestry of red berry fruits, enveloping the senses in a wave of indulgence. The fine, well-integrated tannins provide a sturdy framework, lending structure and elegance to the wine. Generous fruit characters abound, showcasing the winemaker's mastery and the vineyard's bounty. The balance achieved is truly remarkable, as the fruit is expertly complemented by the subtle presence of integrated oak, adding depth and sophistication to every sip.
