Deep ruby in hue, the wine opens with intense aromas of cassis, wild blackberry, and blueberry, interwoven with graphite and a touch of fresh mint. On the palate, layers of black cherry, ripe plum, and dark chocolate unfold, complemented by subtle notes of tobacco smoke and spice. Firm, well-integrated tannins provide a powerful yet polished structure, while bright acidity adds vibrancy and lift to the long, expressive finish. A compelling and age-worthy Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2019 vintage is both approachable now with decanting and poised for graceful aging.
