real expressiveness, combining dark berry fruit with pronounced floral lift and a pungent, almost exotic character. Black tea and licorice add further complexity to the nose. The palate exhibits impressive vitality, driven by a seam of juicy acidity that underscores subtly sweet flavors of blackberry, cherry cola, and black cardamom. The structural architecture remains elegant despite the fruit intensity, with fine-grained, dusty tannins emerging gradually. The finish extends with notable length, returning to the cherry and floral themes established on the nose while maintaining the wine's characteristic spiciness throughout.
