Tasting Notes

Nose

Concentrated and restrained. Dried fruit, beeswax, toasted wood. The karwinskii character is earthy and deep — patient, not showy.

Palate

Rich and dense. Only 3 bottles per plant — every drop carries weight. Roasted coffee, dark honey, leather, dried figs.

Finish

Exceptionally long. Warm and drying, with a backbone of mineral and earth that refuses to fade.

How to Serve

Neat. A rested, unhurried pour — let it breathe and take your time.

Food Pairing

Dark chocolate truffles, blue cheese, slow-braised lamb.
