...masculine, salty, mineral-laced aromas and flavors. Possessing full-bodied richness and a round, seamless, gorgeous texture, this beauty gives up loads of ripe black and blue fruits, subtle olive brine, game, and peppery nuances and has ripe, building tannins as well as a great, great finish.
Black cherry, plum, menthol, licorice, spice, lavender and dried herbs all meld together.
...snappy aromas of black raspberry, white pepper and charred meat on the nose...fresh and edgy quality to the hearty palate, full of charred berries, black pepper and rounded violet flavors.
...aromas of cassis and black cherries with wafts of aniseed and lavender. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins and integrated freshness that elevates touches of pepper and floral perfume on the finish.
