Description

This remarkable red from Chamlija stands as the darkest wine the estate has ever crafted—a true testament to its depth and character. Made in a classic Bordeaux style, it is an artful blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Petit Verdot, showcasing the elegance of Turkish terroir.

The wine opens with an enticing bouquet of dark fruits, layered with nuances of cassis, dried sage, mint, and rosemary. Its core is deeply inky, transitioning gracefully from violet-purple to ruby-red at the rim.

On the palate, it is densely structured and finely extracted, with a polished integration of oak and appealing butterscotch notes, revealing waves of ripe blackcurrant, plum, tobacco, and subtle spice. The tannins are ripe yet firmly present, offering a lift that carries the savory notes of mint, sage, cocoa, and dark fruits through to a persistent, elegant finish.

Though still youthful, it is beautifully poised and promises exceptional aging potential—evolving gracefully over the next decade.
