Weaving together a distinct nod to Bordeaux style, this release presents a more rustic, non-traditional profile within the collection. Showing a mid-to-deep crimson colour, the nose delivers a fine-boned skeleton of dark cherry, pomegranate, tobacco, and blackcurrant leaf, alongside notes of warm bread. The palate is firm and savoury rather than overtly plush, carrying angular, extracted tannins and a dusty, dry finish. It is an interesting, structural expression built for lovers of old-world, earthy restraint.
