Gorgeous Pauillac-like crème de cassis, lead pencil, graphite, tobacco, and chalky minerality all define the bouquet, and it's medium to full-bodied, beautifully balanced, has ripe, polished tannins, and a great finish.
Inviting aromas of elderberries, blackcurrants and dried flowers. Full-bodied with fruit-soaked, silky tannins. So much deliciously ripe fruit on the palate. It never comes across as muddled, but rather articulate and dynamic. So much depth. Very well balanced and structured. Terrific.
...perfumed burst of dusty florals giving way to crushed raspberry, wild blueberry and hints of exotic spice... Velvety and elegant throughout, this seems to coast along the senses, cool-toned and fresh, yet also densely packed with mineral-tinged red fruits.
...aromas offer subdued notes of leaf, red and black cherry, cocoa and moist soil, with old vines shining through. The palate is all about sophistication and grace. It's a very pretty wine, with sneaky heft behind it.
