...rich, fabulously textured, full-bodied effort the has tons of black cherry and cassis fruits intermixed with notes of licorice, smoked herbs, graphite and lead pencil aromas and flavors.
Claret-like aromas of raspberry, currant and spices lifted by a floral quality. Juicy, spicy and intense, with well-delineated red berry and mineral flavors sweetened by spicy oak.
Focused, spicy, peppery and appealing, with a core of blueberry and currant fruit, dancing into the long and expressive finish.
Extremely sumptuous and luxurious in terms of subtlety and texture. Sweet start but with fine tannins and attractive polish.
Partnership between Chateau Ste. Michelle and Italy's Marchesi Antinori.
