The palate is equally captivating, offering velvety tannins that frame flavors of ripe red currants, strawberries, and dried raisins, interwoven with earthy, leathery undertones and subtle spice. The influence of American oak lends a delicate sweetness of toasted coconut, while the extended bottle aging enhances its complexity and imparts a refined, long finish.
