A deep ruby hue with flashes of garnet at the rim. The nose is intense and brooding, offering layers of ripe blackberries, sun-drenched plums, and black cherries, underpinned by earthy garrigue notes—thyme, rosemary, and crushed herbs—alongside hints of black pepper and warm spice. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and plush, with a generous core of dark fruit framed by supple tannins and a touch of wild minerality. The oak is well-integrated, adding subtle notes of cocoa and toast without overpowering the wine’s Mediterranean character. A streak of freshness lifts the richness, leading to a long, savory finish with lingering spice and a whisper of smoke.
