A rich and fruity red with blueberry and plum aromas follow through to a full body, velvety tannins and a flavorful finish. Shows lots of fruit but a solid tannin backbone to back it up.
This is a well-structured, dense and serious effort, with ripe immaculate black-cherry fruit. It is both forward and fruit-driven, yet polished and showing substantial depth. Hints of cola swirl through the extended finish.
Light and fragrant, with pretty raspberry and floral flavors. Shows hints of mint and thyme as the finish lingers, exhibiting a delicate presence and powdery tannins.
Suave, spice-accented aromas of black raspberry, cherry cola, pungent flowers and incense, backed by a mocha note. Sappy and expansive on the palate, offering intense, appealingly sweet dark berry preserve, spicecake and floral pastille flavors that show impressive depth and an undercurrent of smoky minerality. Shows real power as well as vivacity on a long, penetrating finish framed by velvety, slow-building tannins.
...well-defined bouquet with scents of blackberry, huckleberry, a little undergrowth and truffle. The palate is medium-bodied with good density...pleasingly persistent finish.
