Brooding aromas of blackberry, blueberry, black pepper, violet and bitter chocolate... Plush, seamless and mouth-saturating but with a tighter grain than the Apogee bottling. Boasts lovely sweetness and intensity to its purple and black berry flavors lifted by violet and cedar nuances...firm tannins dust the front teeth, incisors and cheeks on the very long, mounting finish.
A symphony of complexity on the nose with an array of ripe dark fruit on offer, as well as a very plush and assertive palate that offers much in the way of deep flavors and long, rich tannins.
...rounded, plum, full-bodied style in its blackcurrants, tobacco leaf, damp earth, and chocolate aromas and flavors. Ripe, rounded, and plush, yet with considerable mid-palate depth and building tannins...
Structured and well-focused, with layered currant, stony mineral and black olive accents that finish with well-buffed tannins.
Aromas of leafy green herb, cherry cordial, wood and vanilla intertwine with lavender and orange peel accents. The fruit flavors are elegant and highly structured, brightened by tart acidity.
...complex on the nose, opening with the aromas of black and red fruits and a soft tart line of acidity through the core. It is full-bodied and expressive on the palate, with a clean, correct and balanced center of fruit and lifting tannins that elevate the expression. The wine ends with flavors of blackberry and dark plum on the long, lingering finish.
Oaky, coconutty nose, touch of mocha. Plump plum and damson fruit with the astringent texture of sloe-berry skins. Lovely savoury spices with a hint of north Africa in them.
