...dark and powerful, showing depths of black currant and plum sauce and complemented by notes of sage, tobacco and crushed stone...floods the palate with silky textures, polished...grippy tannins slowly mount toward the close...finish is long and structured, tugging at the senses with minerals and zesty acids, while leaving hints of menthol and savory spice.
...beautifully textured and fleshed out red that offers bold aromas of dark fruit, spice and bitter chocolate...bouquet is impressive.
