The wine is crafted from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon and aged for 21 months in 100% new French oak barrels, enhancing its structure and aging potential. Tasting Notes Appearance : Deep garnet-purple hue. Aroma : Enticing scents of Morello cherries, blackcurrant pastilles, and mulberries, complemented by hints of chocolate mint, violets, forest floor, and a touch of cinnamon toast.

The refined tannins provide a velvety texture, leading to a lingering finish that showcases the wine's precision and poise. Serving and Pairing To fully appreciate its complexity, decant the wine for at least an hour before serving at a temperature of 16-18°C (61-64°F). This Cabernet Sauvignon pairs exceptionally well with rich dishes such as braised short ribs, grilled lamb chops, or aged cheeses. Its depth and structure also make it a suitable companion for hearty stews and roasted game meats.
