A fresh and delicate entry leads to a fleshy core, elevated by buoyant acidity. Medium-bodied with a lovely mouthfilling tension, it unfolds with vibrant complexity—notes of blueberry skin, dark chocolate, and firm tannins build towards a long, dry finish. It’s reminiscent of a warm yet assured handshake, exuding confidence.
