Athanor is quite a surprise. Its intense bouquet features ripe and slightly dried dark berries, dried cherry, plum compote, and rich notes of cacao/milk chocolate and roasted coffee. On the palate, it is full-bodied yet possesses a velvety and syrup-like texture that underscores its richness. Remarkably, despite its potent character, there's an inherent elegance that shines through. The balance is commendable; indeed, a higher acidity might enhance its profile, but it's impressive how the wine manages its 16% ABV with such finesse that it's barely noticeable. This aspect alone speaks volumes about the careful craftsmanship behind this wine, making it a truly enjoyable and remarkable experience.
