This is very polished and refined with blackcurrant, raspberry and citrus-peel undertones. Full body, extremely fine texture and a long, long finish.
With loads of charcoal, crème de cassis and a flowery-ness, this is rich, medium to full-bodied, beautifully textured, quite pure. The wine is complete and finishes authoritatively. The tannins are there, but ripe, integrated and velvety.
Enticing, pure aromas of blackcurrant, raspberry, red licorice, violet and crushed stone on the knockout nose. Fresh, dense and suave, with brisk acidity framing the perfumed flavors of dark berries, sweet spices and minerals.
