Camphor and cracked pepper announce themselves immediately, followed by waves of blackberry compote and bitter cherry. The French-American oak blend shows restraint, framing rather than dominating. What strikes most is the tension. Vibrant acidity cuts through the richness, keeping everything fresh and focused. Fine-grained tannins and bitter chocolate emerge on the long, smoke-laced finish.
