The complex aromas of brambleberries and fresh herbs such as lemongrass and Italian basil come through beautifully here, giving a liveliness and focus. Medium-bodied with firm and silky tannins and a racy and refined finish. Tight. Really lovely.
Mulled black cherries, flowers, new leather, and truffle earth, as well as some subtle smoky nuances, all emerge on the nose, and it's medium to full-bodied, has a supple, elegant, layered mouthfeel, integrated tannins, and outstanding length.
...layer of mocha and açaí paste draped over fresher flavors of raspberry and red currant coulis...fruit shows persistence through the finish...
...has an admirable, delineated bouquet with beautifully integrated oak, allowing the blackcurrant, raspberry, and vanilla pod scents to flourish...palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, gentle grip and a minor mote of greenness on the back palate. This is quite a saline Pomerol with a dash of black pepper toward the swarthy finish.
...aromas of rich cassis, menthol and toasty new oak, followed by a full-bodied, rich and rather muscular palate framed by sweet, liberally extracted tannins that assert themselves on the finish.
