Perfumed with sweet berry, fresh flower and cedar aromas that follow through to a medium-bodied palate with firm and chewy tannins and a fresh finish. Very classy and structured. Extremely long.
...dark fruit balanced out by savory notes of tobacco leaf or cigar ash...rich and beautifully concentrated...bouquet reveals a floral interlude with dried rose petal and a tropical note of hibiscus...tannins are dusty and finely textured with a hint of powdery cocoa to close.
...perfumed blend of dried roses, cherries, mint and lavender candies. It’s elegant and seamlessly silky on the palate, enveloping the senses with ripe red berry fruits contrasted by a bitter clove tinge...core of brisk acidity maintains a lovely balance as a web of fine tannins saturates the palate, and a pleasantly chewy sensation remains.
...very appealing nose with notes of candied cherries, orange peel, anise, white pepper, and dried roses. Savory and snappy, this medium-bodied Brunello is not lacking for structure and has wonderful energy propelling the wine forward on the palate, angular ripe tannins, and a surge of mineral lift.
Rich, refreshing and complex, featuring cherry, plum, earth, leather and mineral flavors. This red is vibrant, with hints of licorice and tamarind. Best of all, the ripe fruit, supple texture and resonant tannins extend to a white pepper–tinged finish.
...nose is warm and textured, with aromas of dried cherry, blood orange peel, thyme and sage, but also has an edge from undertones of pencil lead and pepper. On the palate, raspberries bring out a sweeter cherry element, while more herbs, citrus and pepper provide balance, before a warm, unifying finish.
Complex and layered aroma that is hard to describe but is mostly cherries and a herbal lift. Smooth, compact tannins surround the bright, tangy but mature fruit. Refined, very, very long, complex and with a long way to go.
