Iris, rose, botanical herb and dark spice aromas lead the way in this fragrant red, along with an enticing whiff of graphite. Elegantly structured and boasting youthful tension, the vibrant palate delivers juicy Morello cherry, crushed raspberry, cinnamon and star anise framed in taut, refined tannins. It's balanced and focused, with bright acidity.
...beautifully perfumed and vibrant, and the wine tastes terrific just out of the gate. The finish is delicate...feathery light on the palate.
Aromas and flavors of macerated cherry, raspberry, spice, earth and burnished wood mark this lithe, taut red... Excellent overall balance and length.
...pure, subtle...poached strawberries, red-apple tart, rose-water and dried cloves. Medium-bodied...fine tannins, steely acidity and a medium-chewy finish.
...very pretty wine. Orange peel, spice, sweet red berry fruit, mint and white pepper...striking aromatic lift to match its gracious, perfumed personality. This is an especially airy, ethereal style with exotic aromatics and lithe structure.
Savoury sweet, minerally cherry and raspberry nose that is almost a little flowery. Elegant palate that is not entirely open yet and with nervy, succulent acidity and finely grained tannins. This is quite superb.
