Dark and lush, with a gorgeous mouthfeel to the exotic fig, boysenberry and blueberry fruit flavors backed by intense spice, mocha, loam and licorice notes. Superlong, showing great drive and purity on the finish. A beauty.
Very ripe black fruit aromas joined by strong torrefaction notes of bitter chocolate, roast coffee, tar and licorice; plenty of evidence of expensive new oak here. Quite ripe and thick but with impressive delineation to the deep dark berry, leather and chocolate flavors... A seriously structured malbec that finishes with substantial broad, dusty tannins.
Smoky meaty dark fruit, complex and inviting with a delicate violet component. Toasty spice but not overwhelmed by the oak though there are mocha notes. Very very fine-grained and silky tannins. Refreshing, elegant and long...
