...pure magic. Loaded with ripe blackcurrants, tobacco, damp earth, and bouquet garni-like nuances, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a deep, layered, opulent mouthfeel, perfect balance, building tannins, and an awesome finish.
Blackberries and blueberries with hints of crushed stones, licorice and violets. Medium-to full-bodied, pure and really harmonized with lovely fruit. So subtle, yet intense. Touch of crushed stone and pumice.
A little swirling of the glass sets the nose soaring with notions of crème de cassis, blackberry pie and stewed plums, giving way to nuances of Chinese five spice, crushed rocks and iron ore with a touch of lavender. The full-bodied palate is super rich and concentrated, delivering decadent black fruit preserves and spicy layers, framed by ripe, rounded tannins and seamless freshness, finishing with epic length. Wow—that's a lot of wine!
Silky, creamy and deep...possesses magnificent depth and tons of personality. Inky dark fruit, blood orange, spice, licorice and sweet oak build in the glass, buttressed by quite a bit of freshness and energy that add verve. In a word: superb.
Dark and winey, with waves and waves of steeped plum, warmed fig and boysenberry reduction flavors rolling through. Offers licorice snap, violet and apple wood notes that add range through the finish...
