The tannins are fine-grained and well-structured, providing a backbone that supports the wine’s richness without overpowering its elegance. A bright acidity runs through the wine, balancing the opulence with freshness and vitality.
Finish: The finish is long and layered, with lingering notes of dark fruit, spice, and a subtle earthiness, leaving a lasting impression of sophistication and power.
