It's incredibly elegant and ethereal, reminiscent of Rayas with its elegantly degraded, amaro-tinged profile: warm cranberries, ripe raspberries and blackberries are accented by bitter citrus peel, amaro, tree bark, laurel leaves, dried roses, tobacco, ash and scrub. The medium-bodied palate is elegantly styled but intense, layered and with minutely grained tannins, finishing incredibly long, nuanced and with lip-smacking freshness. Wow!
A gorgeous and complex pinot noir that shows plums, blueberries, cherries, strawberries and rose petals. Hot stone and ginseng roots, too. Medium to full body, velvety and polished tannins with a fresh and minerally finish. Thai basil and underbrush on the finish.
Sexy, intensely perfumed cherry pie, boysenberry and floral pastille aromas are complemented by suggestions of cola, incense and Asian spices. Palate-staining red and blue fruit preserve, rose pastille and spicecake flavors convey a deft blend of power and nerviness thanks to a spine of juicy acidity. The floral quality comes back emphatically on a strikingly long, sappy finish shaped by smooth, fully absorbed tannins.
...oak spice and sweetness as well as fruit spice. Deep and richly fruited with a glorious balance between spicy sweet fruit depth and mouth-watering freshness. Chewy but sweet tannins, rounded and generous. There’s an intensity but it becomes more delicate and refined on the finish. Succulent and so long.
