...offers a more earthy, meaty bouquet of spiced black fruits, cedarwood, leafy herbs, and herbed meat. Beautifully textured and full-bodied, it offers ripe, polished tannins and a great, great finish.
High-pitched, spice-accented aromas of blackberry and cherry liqueur, potpourri and incense pick up a mineral quality with air. Seamless and expansive on the palate, offering concentrated red and blue fruit, licorice pastille and spicecake flavors that show sharp definition and back-end thrust, turning sweeter as the wine opens up. Finishes extremely long, with smoothly interwoven tannins and lingering spice and floral notes.
...perfume of white pepper, mint chocolate, blackcurrants, fresh violets and a core of blackberries and blueberries. The medium to full-bodied palate is elegant, super fresh and restrained, with a grainy frame and still tightly wound finish. This is lovely!
Polished and multilayered, with compelling black raspberry, licorice and smoky pepper notes that take on richness toward refined tannins.
