Ripe and very powerful aromas of black licorice, currants and violets. Full-bodied, dense and flavorful with lots of very new, flashy wood. Sexy and gorgeous. Round and polished tannins. Superb...
...pure, sleek, seamless beauty, featuring a crystal-clear core of cassis, cherry and damson plum fruit racing along, glistening with lilac, iron and wet pebble notes. Shows terrific spine and clarity, with well-buried grip running throughout.
Smells gorgeous - highly scented with lots of floral notes and ripe blackcurrants - the aromatics burst out of the glass. Succulent and juicy, lively and bright straight away...gorgeous...direct and focussed...wonderfully silky texture and well defined tannins that give energy and frame the wine from start to finish.
Medium in body...super-expressive and inviting...charming...all about finesse and understatement. Bright saline notes and lifted floral top notes convey class.
...tannins are hugely rich and concentrated. They give what is also a fruity wine power, density and shape.
...complex, layered, incredibly impressive...medium to full-bodied...ripe, round, beautifully balanced mouthfeel, classic notes of sweet red and black fruits, tobacco, graphite, and crushed stone, ultra-fine tannins, and a gorgeous finish.
...expressive aromas of crème de cassis, cigar wrapper, pencil shavings, burning embers and creamy new oak, followed by a medium to full-bodied, rich and layered palate that's fleshy and complete, with lively acids and a long, vanillin-inflected finish.
Subtle and fragrant nose with wonderfully delineated black fruit and savoury spice. The impression is savoury... Intense drive and focus is immediate on the palate. There is such energy and vibrancy yet the cassis fruit at the core remains ripe and rich... Harmonious and long.
