...classic on the nose, with lots of cassis, toasted spice, pencil lead, and dried flower aromas and flavors. Rich, powerful, and full-bodied, with sweet, integrated tannins... Bravo!
...displays big, bold, juicy black fruit on the nose, with sweet oak and black and red spices and a focus on rich, ripe fruit. Full-bodied on the palate, the wine is dense and chewy, with a ripe core of fruit that is both generous and spicy, leading to bold, focused tannins. High octane and with an intrepid, velvety, long and lingering finish...
A dark, rich and almost essence-like array of ripe dark berries that are framed in cedary notes. The palate has a ripe feel with smooth, mellow tannins, carrying a hit of spicy blueberries.
...opens to reveal aromas of the blackest cherries, cedar and spice, with the warmth of the vintage on display. Rich, hedonistic dark fruit flavors follow, surrounded by a lot of structure.
