Aromas of crushed mint, pressed rose and perfumed berry mingle with warm spice in this dazzling red. Thanks to some of the highest vineyard altitudes in the denomination, it boasts vibrancy and finesse in its flavors of ripe black cherry, juicy blood orange, licorice and crushed mint. Taut, elegant tannins and fresh acidity keep it balanced and focused.
...pretty succession of wild berry, cherry and plum aromas, along with light spice, crushed flowers and perfumed potting soil...distinguished by a touch of bay leaf and maybe a warmer note of cured tobacco as well.
...exotic mix of sweet smoke and cloves gives way to dusty black cherries and a twang of sour citrus...enters the palate with pure elegance, delicate and silky in feel, yet also delivering a core of salty minerals that adds unexpected depths to the vivid display of tart wild berries and inner spice...finishes with incredible persistence but also poise, structured yet primary...
Lively, offering cherry, strawberry, plum, earth and wild herb aromas and flavors. A dense array of tannins provides support, leaving a burly impression on the finish. Fine balanced and length.
...hint of black pepper and black tea leaves... Succulent red fruit with elevated acidity but properly tied into the fruit and with a layer of sandy tannins supporting the whole.
