Solidly built, with ripe and vivid waves of crushed plum, blackberry and boysenberry fruit rolling through, laced with sweet bay and violet notes. Long twang of iron minerality pierces the finish to keep it all honest.
...stunning purity in its blue fruits, violets, ground pepper, and charred meat-like aromas and flavors. Rich and full-bodied, it has loads of fruit, silky tannins...
Spice-accented aromas of black raspberry, pungent flowers and smoky minerals, plus a hint of olive. Concentrated yet lively as well, offering juicy dark berry, floral pastille and cracked pepper flavors and a touch of smokiness. Fleshes out slowly with air and shows fine clarity and appealing sweetness on the long, gently tannic finish.
...scents of red plums and crushed stone, plus subtle herb and floral shadings. Medium to full-bodied, with a silky texture and a refreshing hit of licorice on the lengthy finish...
