The balance between fruit and oak is seamless. There is notable tension, supported by a fine line of acidity that carries the rich, saturated flavours of black fruits and Satsuma plums. The tannins are present but nuanced, providing a fine, smooth texture to the wine. It glides across the palate with precision. Generous flavours of cherry-infused chocolate and hazelnut praline accompanied by hints of cola and sarsaparilla. A touch of cracked black pepper and nutmeg adds subtle complexity, enhancing the overall sense of balance.
