...truly an outstanding effort from a challenging vintage...densely packed on the palate with ripe kirsch, mocha, tar and sandy soil flavors.
Blackberries, dark chocolate and wet stone aromas intersect with leather and wood notes reminiscent of sandalwood spice. Powerful black cherry, peach, orange peel and tobacco flavors fill the mouth in rich fashion, backed by fine-grained tannins and a pleasing acidity.
...boasting a heady nose filled with alluring fruit aromas that explode with dark cherries, black raspberry and blackberry reduction...full-bodied wine offers a layered, complex and expressive palate with a balanced structure and a firm tannic grip, delivering a robust and hedonistic mouthfeel. It has gobs of sappy fruit over the long, spicy finish.
...aromatics of dark plums, blackcurrants, chocolate, green tobacco, and gravelly earth. It's full-bodied and has a concentrated, stacked mid-palate along with ripe tannins.
