Very strong violets introduce this super-floral nose that also shows some pepper, cassis, blueberries and a dark, graphite-like, salty and mineral edge. The palate is replete with dark-chocolate flavors and once again fragrant violets. This is very, very fleshy and powerful, and you can sense the thick, healthy and ripe skins here. Long, long tannins wrap around dark-plum and blackberry fruits.
...bouquet of dark, peppery fruits, damp earth, violets, and spring flowers. With a beautiful sense of minerality, medium to full body, ripe tannins, and no hard edges...
...complex nose of crushed stone, violets, cherries and blueberries; a palate that's medium to full-bodied, concentrated and tannic yet silky; and a finish that's vibrant and long.
Attractive nose with marmalade and confit fruit notes. Rich and concentrated on the palate with a minerally freshness that affords balance.
