Tasting Note

Deep, intense violet colour with powerful aromatics of blackberries, cassis and ripe plum, layered with notes of violet, graphite and subtle spice. On the palate, it is rich and full-bodied, with concentrated dark fruit flavours supported by firm yet polished tannins and a vibrant acidity that reflects its high-altitude origins. Hints of cocoa, tobacco and vanilla from oak ageing add complexity, leading to a long, structured finish with impressive depth and elegance.
