...stunning bouquet of blackcurrants, blackberries, ground pepper, scorched earth, and graphite. This carries to a rich, medium to full-bodied, powerful Saint Joseph that has beautiful depth, no hard edges, and a great, great finish.
High-toned liquorice and charcoal notes are joined by violets, blackberry and blackcurrant leaf...beautifully elegant expression in the mouth, with piercing acidity and serrated, saline tannins...very long and errs towards overextraction, yet the extraordinary concentration is allied with freshness.
...packed with licorice and blueberries, yet it walls them off under notes of crushed stone and an impressive structure...full-bodied and intense...
Lightly mulled in feel, featuring raspberry and plum notes, steeped with anise, black tea and bay leaf accents. Singed juniper hints check in through the finish. The long finish smolders pleasantly.
Fresh black and blue fruit, floral and spice qualities on the assertively perfumed nose, which picks up suave mineral and vanilla flourishes with air. Sappy, focused and appealingly sweet, offering palate-staining blueberry, cassis and cherry preserve flavors and hints of salty olive, licorice and candied violet. Blends depth and energy with a steady hand and closes impressively long and spicy, with a resonating mineral note and well-knit tannins coming in late.
Violet, black cherry, blackcurrant, fragrant spices with lovely tarry notes and the finest grade of tannins imaginable. Very chewy...impressive fragrance.
