“ The initial scent is dominated by a direct and intense aroma of blackberry, immersing your senses in its richness. As it unfolds on the palate, you're enveloped in a fullbodied texture and robust tannins, akin to a sensory embrace. The finish is lively and spirited, accompanied by hints of mineral notes, like a gentle breeze sweeping across your taste buds. ”
