ITEM 10164503 - Removed from a temperature and humidity controlled wine storage unit
Plums, dark cherries, blueberries, cedar, amber, dried herbs and baking spices on the nose. Full-bodied with plush tannins. Structured, balanced and intense...polished, rich core of dark and blue fruit and a long, flavorful finish.
Gorgeous aromatics include cherry, aniseed and menthol freshness...medium-bodied palate...whiff of oak in the initial, powerful attack, but then the wine broadly coats the palate with violet, plum, cherry and lead pencil aspects, exhibiting fresh notes in its vinous palate...long finish. Clearly of high calibre.
...fine texture with rich tannins and powerful structure...concentrated and juicy, superripe, a sign of the high proportion of Merlot in the blend, and full-bodied. Organic and biodynamic.
...delivers aromas of cherries, plums, licorice and pencil shavings, follow by a medium to full-bodied, deep and refined palate that concludes with a saline, attractively floral finish.
...thickly textured dark fruit...steeped plum and blackberry notes cruising through slowly, carried by alder, loam and tobacco threads. Gains nuance as it airs in the glass, showing light chalky minerality for energy and balance in the process.
...cohesive and well-defined nose of red berry fruit, sous-bois and dry tobacco, the oak neatly folded into the fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with a little chewiness on the entry, fine acidity, maybe a little rustic compared to others but it has freshness and charm.
Light, unfussy, ripe-berry aroma. Good palate impact. Neat... Long.
