Appearance: Crystal-clear, with silvery highlights Nose: Smoky, evoking embers and ash, with a hint of exotic fruit and an animal note. Palate: The attack is smooth, with ripe fruit and toasted dried fruit, enhanced by peppery spices. A note of smoked cured meats then develops against a clean and balanced structure, despite a slight warmth. The finish is long and lingering, ending on a slight bitterness. Overall impression: A smoky, well-structured wine, where ripe fruit blends beautifully with the spices, offering lovely balance and good length.
