Smoke- and spice-accented aromas of dark berry liqueur, incense and floral pastilles. Smooth, expansive and seamless, offering sexy blueberry preserve and cola flavors along with a hint of candied violet. Finishes with bright mineral snap, sneaky tannins and lingering spiciness.
Oaky, inky, modern and full of power...toasty and dark as night on the bouquet. The palate feels ripe and intense, with creamy oak and controlled tannins. Flavors of baked black fruits, cocoa and vanilla finish soft and supple, with just enough tannic grip and acidity to maintain focus.
...expressive, racy and dense, delivering black raspberry, licorice, garrigue and mineral flavors, with a nice balance of sweet and savory. Harmonious and alluring, in the modern style.
...a showy wine, impressive, with superripe aromas...well surrounded by dense and sweet black fruit and a toasty clean oak. Modern style with creamy and rounded tannins...palate remains surprisingly fresh after tasting.
