...shows dimension, depth, precision and power... Dark fruit, licorice, spice and ferrous earth build a fluid and multifaceted bouquet.
What a gorgeous showing. It opens with heady aromas of menthol, forest berry, iris and new leather while the enveloping, full-bodied palate delivers raspberry compote, ripe Marasca cherry, licorice and baking spice before a minty finish. Enveloping, fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity provide perfect balance.
...concentrated and supple, bursting with cherry, plum, licorice and eucalyptus aromas and flavors. Offers a sense of elegance, with a slightly chewy texture, along with excellent length.
...powerful, muscular wine... Layers of building tannins enshroud a core of dark Nebbiolo fruit, with hints of dried herbs, iron, leather and sweet tobacco that develop with a bit of coaxing.
Very aromatic with roses, strawberries and some cherry blossom, too. Medium to full body and firm, silky tannins with finesse and intensity at the same time.
Generous fruit framed by bags of ripe grainy tannins adding contrast. Quite a powerful structure but nothing over the top. Muscular finish with cherry fruit and a hint of fruit cake.
