The wine was matured in high-quality French oak barrels, including a significant proportion of new oak, for an extended period to build power, complexity, and longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1050\" data-end=\"1462\"\u003eThe wine opens with an intense and layered bouquet of blackberry, dark plum, and blueberry, interwoven with notes of dark chocolate, espresso, liquorice, and sweet spice.
