...offering a lush nose of black fruits, oiled leather and dried herbs with greater intensity than usual...palate is generous but classy, beautifully combining dark fruits, mouthwatering but structured acidity and fine-grained tannins that continuously propel the finish.
It offers up copious black fruit, dried herbs, chocolate, lavender and underbrush, all in a super-classic, mid-weight style that is hugely appealing.
Subtle aromas of dark cherry, toasted mahogany and roasted nut are very balanced on the nose of this bottling. The palate offers incense and potpourri flavors against a fresh red-fruit element. On the spicy, peppery finish, the leathery tannins continue their grip.
