Exotic red and black fruits, ground pepper, violets, bouquet garni, sandalwood, and some gamey, meaty notes all emerge on the nose, and this beauty is full-bodied, has a concentrated, layered mouthfeel and incredible length.
...lavish dark berry compote aromas supported by dark chocolate, amaro and subtle meaty accents...palate is extraordinarily saturated and staining, containing immense body and plushness...finish is quite taut and inward, framed with a welcome amount of fine-grained tannins to support the otherwise massive fruit density.
...has a slightly purer and more precise perfume of ripe blackberries, ground pepper, violets, and game...carries to a full-bodied Grenache offering flawless overall balance, a pure, cool climate, vibrant mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and an incredible finish.
...pure notes of black licorice, coffee beans, lilac, graphite and tobacco...full-bodied palate is plush, ripe and spicy, with chocolate-textured tannins and fireworks of fresh acidity to call you back to the glass.
Black cherry, plum, chocolate new leather, licorice and cloves are all dialed up.
