More blue fruits as well as blackcurrants, leafy tobacco, chocolate, candied flowers, and baking spices all emerge...full-bodied, with an incredibly pure, seamless texture, polished tannins, and one heck of a great, great finish...with a building sense of minerality, it has a rare sense of elegance and purity, flawless balance, and is just a heavenly, singular wine.
Dried flowers, sweet red cherry, mint, spice and lavender lend striking nuance... The aromatics are simply mesmerizing. Veins of supporting tannin give the wine terrific energy and tons of verve...
Warm and lush in feel, with a loamy tug leading off, followed by steeped black currant and fig fruit flavors inlaid with alder and tobacco accents. Solidly grippy finish lets the loamy edge take the lead.
