Seriously mouth-staining, precise and vibrant, and dense without being weighty...rising, spicy finish stains the palate, with perfectly judged tannins...
...nose of cassis, crushed rocks, scorched earth, and graphite...medium-bodied, elegant, and focused on the palate, with fine tannins...complex, salty, layered character, and a blockbuster finish.
Some gently lifted, crushed flowers and an amalgam of blackcurrants and blackberries...palate has a long, rich and deep feel. Very plush yet structurally contained and well integrated tannins. Neat, dark-fruit finish with a lick of herbs to close.
...dense core of red and purple flowers, dusty cherries and currants and savory aromas on the nose...focused on the palate, turning just slightly tart with black peppercorn and green peppers...finish shows precision and rich depth...
...aromas of black pepper, fresh herb, firepit, mineral and currant... Palate-coating green pepper, currant and plum flavors follow. A lingering finish caps it off.
