Intensely fragrant...bursts out of the glass with sweet baking spices, sandalwood and tart red fruits. The structure and balance, along with its impressive concentration and length...
Firm in texture, this lithe bundle of black cherry, raspberry, espresso and smoke flavors comes together with integrity on the harmonious finish...
... High-pitched red berry and Asian spice aromas, along with suggestions of sassafras and incense. Sweet and penetrating on the palate, offering sweet raspberry and cherry flavors and a subtle touch of blood orange. Dusty tannins come in slowly and weave effortlessly into the wine's energetic fruit. Intense and long on the aftertaste, leaving behind notes of five-spice powder and berry skin.
Subtle, floral aromatics with more red fruits accented... A bit brooding in character while still carrying nice finesse throughout. Firm, fine tannins with structural persistence and a lot of palate stimulation. The mineral sapidity and drive here is more apparent...good depth and intrigue.
