Bright aromas of redcurrant, spices and cocoa powder complicated by subtle floral notes. Juicy flavors of dark berries, spices, minerals and flowers convey excellent definition and a distinctly sophisticated texture...lovely early sweetness and appeal, with classic Bordeaux flavors.
Fresh herb, dark-raspberry, licorice and black-cherry aromas are followed by extremely well-balanced, reserved but still sumptuous fruit flavors. Firm structured tannins back it up.
Wafting from the glass with juicy cherries and a dark-fruited core of aromas, mocha and hints of oak with dusty earth...elegant and approachable on the palate, with nuances of smoked cherries and ends with focused balance and a pleasing finish.
...currant, tobacco and spice flavors that begin to bloom as they build toward broad-shouldered tannins.
