Dense blackberry and kirsch saturate the palate, shot through with graphite minerality that keeps everything taut. Cracked pepper and espresso emerge as the wine opens. The texture walks a tightrope between power and polish. Rich but never heavy. Needs time for the tannins to soften. Drink 2026-2040.
