Intense aromas of wet earth, limestone cellars and dark fruits such as currants and blackberries. Then turns to flowers. Black truffles... Licorice. Gravel. Full-bodied with a solid palate of tannins that melt into the wine...sleek and muscular with fantastic length and presence.
...gunsmoke character...richly expressed damson and raspberry fruit...elegant, showing a seductive edge without trying too hard. The texture is softly-brushed velvet, these tannins are front and centre but so fine and so precise... Salinity from the limestone is evident on the finish, bringing a moreish juiciness and you can scrape your tongue against the pumice stone texture...just the most incredible depth and layers.
...great nose of ripe black cherries, black raspberries, dried flowers, loamy earth, and camphor, with a beautiful sense of minerality. Opening up with time in the glass, it's full-bodied, has a deep, layered mouthfeel, gorgeous overall balance, and a great finish.
...backward nose with dense black fruit... The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins...cashmere/creamy texture...lavish and beautifully composed on the ethereal finish.
...wafting from the glass with aromas of rich cherries, plums, sweet spices, rose petals and creamy new oak. Full-bodied, rich and layered, it remains fresh despite its ripe, sun-kissed profile, and its generous payload of tannin helps to integrate its rather lofty level of alcohol.
...classically styled...chalky spine that helps drive red and black currant and plum puree notes along, all while light alder, dried rose petal and light tobacco notes fill in the background. Refined and focused through the finish.
Dark-fruited, spicy and a touch oaky...the tannins less refined, dark and savoury, a touch charry, with a chewy finish.
