...aromas of violets, blackberries and cassis complemented by subtle hints of licorice, sweet soil tones and warm spices. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and perfumed, it's fleshy and enveloping, with an ample core of succulent fruit and beautifully polished, powdery tannins.
...intense bouquet of blackberry and small black cherries, iodine and crushed violet, plus a faint hint of tobacco...palate is medium-bodied with crunchy black frui... Solid grip and flavors of black pepper and mint toward the chalky finish.
Black core, deepest crimson rim. Intense, rich but elegant black fruit. Rich but not overly sweet. Firm, dry, with finesse as well as richness. The tannins are firm as well as smooth and dry. This has great harmony even now between structure and fruit. Really lovely wine.
