...bouquet of black raspberries, cassis, rich espresso roast, cigar wrapper, subtle black truffle and burning embers...full-bodied, powerful and multidimensional, with a lavishly textural attack that segues into a stunningly layered, richly structured mid-palate endowed with incredible depth and concentration underpinned by succulent acids. The finish is long, vibrant and beautifully delineated.
Amazing aromas of flowers, blackberry, black currant and spices. Purple fruits. Full body, very dense and rich... Tannic and so fresh. The Monte Bello magic is here. Great to taste...
...utterly spellbinding in its beauty. Finely sculpted and chiseled, with super-expressive aromatics and searing tannins, shaping up to be a modern-day classic. Remarkably pure & vibrant for such a big wine... Quite simply a must-have wine.
...plush tannins pull a well of blackberry and plum fruit along, while smoldering toast and a latent mineral edge linger through the superlong finish.
Very Cabernet nose, again with spice – great polish and depth. Firm acidity and much more obvious tannins than the 2014.
