...nose of mostly red fruits, spring flowers, damp earth, cedary spices, and truffle. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it shines for its incredible elegance and purity more than outright power, yet it still brings plenty of richness...ultra-fine tannins, perfect balance, and one heck of a great finish...
...notes of kirsch, raspberry preserves and mulberry scents, plus hints of cedar chest, crushed rocks, bay leaves, Sichuan pepper and lavender with a waft of sandalwood. The medium to full-bodied palate has tons of freshness to support the melange of preserved red and black fruits, textured by grainy tannins, finishing with a lingering peppery kick.
Blackberry, violet and crushed stone on the nose. Pure fruit, but reserved and tensioned. Full-bodied with firm, tight tannins and a long finish.
...vivid array of dark fruit, leather, spice, licorice, chocolate and espresso captivates all the senses.
...graphite, cedar, red flowers, bright fruit and then a fullness of spice and fleshy darker cherry...palate follows, bringing bright crunch and seductive flesh in equal measure. Deep and expansive through the mid-palate. Layers of spice are both sweet and savoury – with the woody herbal notes of Cabernet Franc very impressive. Harmonious, elegant and long.
