Lively, clean and dark aromas of cassis and blueberry are cut by cassis on the ripe yet fresh nose of this bottling. The palate is unctuous with cassis and violet flavors that ride silky yet tense tannins into a lingering finish.
...savory scents of iodine, saddle leather, pipe tobacco and cast iron complementing a core of violet-laced blackcurrant fruit...full-bodied palate is focused on mineral character...has a frame of clay-textured tannins, energetic acidity and a long finish.
...darkly floral in character with crushed stone minerality and an array of black fruits and exotic spices...soft and round, with crisp blackberries and currants underscored by brisk acidity...finishes remarkably fresh with resonating crystalline tannins and inner violet florals. What a beauty.
Notes of blackberries, cassis, dried herbs, earth and some leather, too. Medium body with firm tannins. It's dark and chewy on the palate with blackberries and bark dominating.
...notes of darker currants, cedary oak, sagebrush, and chocolaty spice all define the aromatics, and it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, a round, nicely textured mouthfeel...
