...open with aromas of pencil shaving, toasted pine, licorice candy, lavender, and blackcurrant. Fleshy and full-bodied, it retains good freshness and offers a velvety texture and a good bit of length.
...hint of savory greenness with peppercorn, bay leaf, baked plum and blackberry preserves. The oak adds sweetness with cinnamon and nutmeg over a very generous mouthfeel with thick, chalky tannins...intense on the palate compared to the bouquet.
...leads off with ample iron and savory aromas and flavors, courtesy of eucalyptus, wild rosemary and mineral notes, all framing the core of pure black currant and blackberry fruit...fine length.
The nose is a sun-soaked seafaring adventure, with savory notes of dried meat...leather belts and boots mixing with a rich fruitiness and the salty sea air. The rich, fruity, chocolaty palate eventually turns spicy, and that spice dances with searing acidity to prolong the finish.
Notes of toasted spices, dark cedar, cocoa and bark with a mix of red and blue fruit in the background. Full, compact and lightly chewy with firm, vertical tannins. Spiced, ripe and intense, yet well-integrated and balanced with tension and persistence.
...intense nose of cassis with floral hints and black olives is enhanced by balsamic depth... The tannins seems to be grainy, extracted, still to condense but ripe, with crisp balancing acidity. The sweetness of the fruit, a bit confected, is balanced by a kind of bitter finish.
