- Aged for approximately 12 to 16 months in fine-grained French oak barrels to soften natural tannins while highlighting floral aromatics and dark berry intensity.

Tasting Notes
Deep violet-black with intense purple reflections, it opens with pure, commanding aromas of ripe blackberries, black cherries, and dark plums, seamlessly intertwined with violet florals, dark cocoa, sweet pipe tobacco, and subtle roasted coffee beans. The palate is full-bodied, supple, and dense, wrapping sweet-fruited dark berry extract around polished, fine-grained tannins and balancing mountain freshness, concluding on an expansive, velvety, and gently spiced savory finish.
Serving Suggestion
- Temperature: Serve at 16–18°C in large Bordeaux or wide red wine stemware.
- Decanting: Decant for 30 to 45 minutes prior to serving to allow its opulent dark fruit layers and floral perfume to fully expand. Peak drinking window now through 2034+.
