... Displays vibrant, sharply detailed red/blue fruit and fresh rose scents, along with hints of incense and Asian spices...excellent clarity and spicy lift to its sappy black raspberry, bitter cherry and floral pastille flavors... Finishes extremely long and subtly sweet, with sneaky tannins and emphatic, floral-driven persistence.
Silky and elegantly complex, with cherry blossom and pomegranate aromas and well-structured flavors with spiced cinnamon and clove accents that build toward refined tannins.
...wild, sappy aromas and toasty, meaty oak influence. The palate delivers a smooth, velvety texture with abundant, rich oak impact and a core of ripe red cherries...
...compelling mix of black raspberry fruit, savory meat stock and a touch of sour plum. Details of fresh herbs come up through the residual flavors, and the overall balance extends the enjoyment.
...violets/lilacs, wet forest floor and touches of charcuterie and pepper. Medium to full-bodied with a lively core of crisp black fruit, it has a firm frame of grainy tannins and juicy acidity carrying the long, earthy/spicy finish.
