Deep, dark red in colour with inky black edges and a rich crimson hue. The nose is lifted and complex, showing spicy black cherry and anise layered with hints of cured meat, scorched earth, and dried herbs. The palate is generous and fleshy, carrying concentrated flavours of black cherry and anise over nuances of smoky cedar, earth, and savoury dried meat. A long, spicy finish follows, supported by polished yet firm tannins and a lingering, meaty dark-fruited aftertaste.
