...notions of crushed blackcurrants, Morello cherries, black raspberries and menthol with touches of cinnamon stick, cloves, pencil shavings and underbrush. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is chock-full of youthful, vivacious fruit with a plush, finely grained texture and oodles of freshness, finishing with a lingering minty kick.
...solid, easygoing wine with fine balance and plenty of near to medium-term appeal. Dark red cherry, kirsch, mocha, espresso, licorice, wild flower and cinnamon come together nicely...decidedly ripe and flashy, but all the elements are nicely melded together.
