Notes

Opens with savory aromatics of jamón ibérico and bresaola, woven with floral pine, reduced raspberry, and ripe black cherry. A subtle veil of fragrant perfume and overt candied fruits adds elegance and a distinctive personality. The palate begins with sticky, concentrated notes of blueberry jam, followed by a savory layer of tarte flambée that brings together char and umami. Ripe strawberry dominates the midpalate as the tannins build with a gritty texture, culminating in a powerful crescendo that lingers with notes of anise and black pepper.
