Vibrant, summer-berry compote wrapped in a sheen of baking spices and fresh cedary oak. The palate’s supple, even and plush with densely layered mocha, dark-plum and dark-cherry flavors. Immaculate tannins and mouthfeel.
...locked and loaded, offering powerful notes of black raspberries, tobacco leaf, and chocolate...terrific sense of elegance and purity, and has building, ripe tannins hiding under its fruit.
...dense with superripe tannins...rich black-plum and berry fruits along with an opulent texture typical of this wine in good vintages. Along with its power, the wine has great acidity to keep the aftertaste crisp and fruity.
Torrefaction, chocolate, new leather, plum and spice all fuse together in a bold, sumptuous Saint-Émilion that beautifully expresses Maltus's style.
...opens with crème de cassis and blackberry preserves notes with touches of licorice, chocolate box and black soil plus a touch of cloves. Medium to full-bodied, concentrated and firm, it offers grainy tannins with lovely eclectic spice layers coming through on the long finish.
...lovely... It displays a liquorice and black cherry character, with gingerbread and star anise notes which lift towards the finish.
