...massive bouquet of blackcurrants, kirsch liqueur, red plums, Asian spices, violets, and flowery incense...sexy or opulent...brilliant, full-bodied wine has ripe, velvety tannins, beautiful depth of fruit, and a great finish.
...very bold...cherry and some lingering, bold, blackberry aromas that make a strong impact...fruit is marked by stronger concentration and ripeness...truly beautiful albeit brawny Nebbiolo.
Very ripe strawberry and cherry aromas with undertones of flowers and cedar. Hints of fresh leather, too. Full body and round, soft tannins with lots of intensity at the finish.
...broad, powerful style, full of well-defined plum, cherry, licorice, leather, iron and tobacco flavors...smooth texture adds refinement. Exhibits refinement despite the breadth. The fine, lingering aftertaste picks up elements of wild herbs and spices.
Aromas of chopped mint, rose and red berry mingle with whiffs of French oak and menthol. The firm, full-bodied palate offers dried cherry, pomegranate, licorice, espresso and tobacco...fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity.
Vigour and great depth on the nose with balsamic cherry fruit, minerally notes and hints of garden herbs... Succulent fruit reined in by layers and layers of polished tannins creating tactile fireworks on the finish.
