...firework display of redcurrant preserves, kirsch, boysenberries and wild blueberries, followed by iron ore, red roses, cardamom, fallen leaves and crushed rocks, with a waft of pencil shavings. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is stunningly graceful and refined, featuring exhilarating mineral sparks among the red and black fruits, finishing with so much brightness and energy. Breathtaking!
...incredible bouquet of blackcurrants, tobacco, dark chocolate, and crushed stone, which turns more floral, pretty, and complex with time in the glass. Full-bodied on the palate, it marries a rare sense of elegance and finesse with incredible intensity... Bravo!
The purity of the flavors is just remarkable. Bright red/purplish fruit, spice, blood orange, mocha and mint...
The clarity of fruit is so impressive with blackberry and blueberry aromas and so many violets...full-bodied...very polished, strong tannins that are long and well-formed. There’s freshness and brightness, though.
Pure cassis and a little warmth on the nose together with baked, sweet pastries. The palate follows in the same vein with a rich chalkiness and more warming alcohol... Intense and long on the finish.
