Medium-high intensity nose is clean & fresh w/ herbaceous aromas mingling w/ ripe red & black fruits, currant, black cherry & tobacco, plus touches of cedary oak spice & reductive notes. It's medium+ to medium-full bodied on dry, elegant & complex palate w/ ripe red fruits, red currant, blk cherry, red licorice & red plum nuanced w/ dried herbs, gentle oak spice, tobacco flavours. It's well-balanced throughout w/ refreshing acidity & smooth, elegant & fine-grained tannins. Tobacco, spice & savoury earth notes linger on long, well-structured & balanced finish. Tasted Dec. 2025. Score: 91+ pts
