Wow. Wild aromas of dried fruits, flowers & Indian spices on the nose & palate. Full body, silky tannins & a long, intense finish. This is a fabulous wine... from a hybrid of Merlot & Cabernet Sauvignon. Limited production & extremely rare.
...extremely vibrant, lively and crisp as a result. There are beautiful floral notes that lift first from the bouquet with rose and lavender on full display. These are followed by delicate layers of spice and a signature touch of cracked white peppercorn...
A wine of gorgeous length & pedigree... all about depth and textural elegance... quite intense and savory... Hints of mocha, juniper berry, espresso, lavender and sage emerge... The explosiveness of the year is evident... Only Magnums.
...bouquet is deep and complex, offering up notes of sweet dark berries, road tar, cigar ash, a beautiful array of Tuscan herbs, a complex base of soil tones, a bit of espresso, dried eucalyptus and the wine’s customary framing of cedar. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and quite velvety in texture, with a plush core of fruit, lovely soil signature, melting tannins and a long, tangy and complex finish of impeccable balance.
A fresh, racy style, with vibrant acidity driving the black cherry and blackberry fruit. Spice, leather and mineral accents add dimension as this cruises to the lingering, mouthwatering finish. Shows fine integration and precision.
Energetic acidity and blackberry and cherry and yet not sweet at all. A mouthwatering, peppery finish...fruit is elegant and perfumed and long...
