Balance, depth, detail and elegance are the hallmarks here. Pretty raspberry/cherry fruit comes up quickly, framed in proportionate acids and tannins. Streaks of malt powder, caramel and mocha weave through a long, subtle finish.
Very perfumed with flower, peach and strawberry character. Full body...big mouthfeel on the finish. Shows structure and richness.
Pungent cherry, black raspberry, cola and floral aromas are sharpened by lively Asian spice and mineral notes. Succulent and gently sweet, offering juicy red and dark berry flavors and a sexy lavender pastille quality. Nicely energetic for the vintage, finishing with impressive clarity and persistence and smooth, harmonious tannins that sneak in late.
...elegant nose combines notes of red cherry, pomegranate, plum and sandalwood. The sense of refinement continues onto the delicious, sleek and well-detailed medium-bodied flavors that possess a more sophisticated mouth feel as well as better depth and persistence on the attractively textured and well-balanced finish. Lovely stuff...
...lively bouquet with raspberry jus and crushed strawberry...medium-bodied with fine, juicy tannin, plenty of crushed strawberry and cranberry notes, a hint of spice and cardamom with a well-balanced, quite dense finish that lingers nicely in the mouth...the delineation and focus deserves a round of applause.
Fresh, inviting and open-textured, layering the plum, currant and floral flavors with lightly prickly tannins, coming together harmoniously on the finish.
