Optimal ripeness in this vintage adds power and depth to the classic black-cherry flavors..fruit is framed with bright, citrus-infused acids leaning toward tangerine. The tannins have a touch of clay and finish with a burst of chamomile tea.
Ripe red and dark berries, candied flowers and allspice on the fragrant nose, along with cola and smoky mineral nuances. Juicy and animated on the palate, showing very good energy to the raspberry, boysenberry and spicecake flavors. Deepens with air and finishes on a spicy note, with discreet tannins and repeating florality.
...nose is cool and elegant with its perfumed array of red currant, plum and discreet violet wisps. The sleek, refined and highly energetic medium-bodied flavors possess a really lovely, even sophisticated, texture that carries over to the compact, complex and balanced finale. Excellent...
A lovely nose of rose, red cherry and thyme. Medium-bodied with fine, slightly chewy tannins. Well structured, with delicate red-fruit and floral character. Very steady and persistent.
Vibrant and sleek, with layered guava and raspberry flavors, which take on accents of spiced tea and forest floor and finish with medium-grained tannins.
