...opens with wet stone and Nori notes that combine with pretty pink grapefruit blossom and shades of bulls blood, garrigue and charcuterie...palate is vibrant and deep with a silky texture, showing no rough edges... What a wine!
Ripe black cherries, darker raspberries, sappy flowers, shiitake mushrooms, and a kiss of black pepper...incredibly pure, seamless, elegant...perfumed, exotic...shines for its incredible purity, precision, and length.
Wickedly fresh...opens with a dark mix of wilted violets, ashen stones, rubbed sage and musky currants...juicy and round with masses of black cherry fruits underscored by saline minerals and exotic spice, as a core of vibrant acidity maintains amazing lift despite its power and size. This leaves a balsamic and cocoa tinge, tapering off long and staining with edgy tannins and a resonance of black olive that lingers.
Arresting wood smoke and cured ham aromas lead to incredibly concentrated, earthy, meaty flavors matched by blackberries and black pepper that seem to swell on the palate and accelerate through the finish.
...sappy black cherry and sour plum notes complemented by spicy herbs and hung meat, offering an earthy, robust character...medium-bodied palate, dusty flowers and iodine unfold to firm, gripping tannins that lead to a finish marked by notes of smoked cherries.
Dynamic and polished, with multilayered raspberry and blackberry flavors laced with river stone, licorice, bacon fat and black olive as this builds richness and tension toward well-buffed tannins.
...aromas of meat and caraway seeds uniting to create a pastrami perfume...blackberry-compote, rosemary and lavender-water flavors are equally captivating...crisp acidity and velvety tannins.
