The nose is full of promise, bursting with juicy blackberry jam, a spicy hit of liquorice, and subtle tobacco notes, all wrapped in a fresh cloak of red fruits. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied but lively and delicate, with smooth tannins that glide effortlessly into a crisp finish. The blend of 60% Saperavi and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon brings serious depth and personality, offering vibrant raspberries and wild strawberries alongside that signature liquorice kick. It’s natural, honest, and utterly captivating.
