Very rich and gorgeous on the nose. Such a fabulous blend of intensity and richness.
Vibrant, perfumed aromas of raspberry, wild herbs and white pepper; smells intense. Then dense, sappy and very fine-grained on the palate, with terrific lift and inner-mouth perfume to the flavors of raspberry, white pepper, stony minerality, mint and spices. This has 2010-like tension. Finishes dry, classic and incisive, with a firm spine of sweet tannins and terrific mouthwatering length.
...mark on the nose, infusing the fruit with allspice and cloves...palate is medium-bodied with silky smooth, velvety tannins that caress the sumptuous finish that belies that structure underneath.
