...notions of blackcurrants, black raspberries, toasty oak, truffles, graphite, and spice-box, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, an ethereal, seamless texture, perfect balance, and a huge finish.
This has the wow factor; it's very impressive. The nose is saturated with dark, rich plums and wet-earth aromas...palate has polished, lustrous appeal, and dark plums and ripe blueberry flavors abound. Long, deep-set tannins with incredible depth. This has x-factor depth and elegance.
...exotic perfume of smoked meats, truffles, sandalwood and Indian spices over a compelling core of cherry cordial, blackberry tart and blueberry compote...full-bodied palate is absolutely laden with taut, muscular black and blue fruits, with a solid frame of grainy tannins and just enough freshness, finishing with languidly lingering licorice and spice flavors.
...generous bouquet of brambly red fruit, rose petal and hints of fresh fig...palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, a fine bead of acidity, rounded and velvety smooth.
Very rich and sweet and flattering on the palate...tannins are a bit rustic.
