Appearance: Deep ruby red with intense garnet reflections.
Nose: An expressive bouquet of ripe blackberries, plums, and cherries, complemented by subtle spicy notes of black pepper, cinnamon, and a hint of vanilla from oak aging. A trace of tobacco and earthy undertones adds depth to the aromatic profile.
