... Exotically perfumed red berry preserve, potpourri and Moroccan spice aromas... Smoothly marries power and finesse, offering palate-staining black raspberry, boysenberry, rose pastille and spicecake flavors...strikingly persistent finish, which features polished tannins and a sappy, resonating red fruit liqueur note.
Polished and elegantly complex, with supple raspberry, orange peel and fresh violet accents that build richness and structure on a lingering finish.
Really impressively cast complexity on the nose with ripe red to dark cherries and a super plush web of fine, long tannin that carries long and convincing. The finish is expansive...
Toasty, focused...a wash of espresso, wrapping the ample cherry fruit and carrying the wine through a long finish.
...opens with touches of charcuterie, peppercorn, scorched earth and tar, very slowly segueing to potpourri, leather, wild blackberries and bright red berries with amaro nuances...medium-bodied and serious in the mouth with savory and spice-laced fruits, a firm, chalky frame and seamless freshness to lift the finish...
Big and with great potential. Lots to chew on. Dry finish, like sucking on warm rocks.
