Chamomile and dried herbs dominate the nose, with hints of stone fruit buried beneath. The palate shows impressive weight and texture, built on phenolic grip rather than varietal charm. Sage and mineral notes persist through the finish, creating a savory, almost austere expression that prioritizes structure over immediate appeal.
