...violet aromas with blueberry, cherry and plum notes, as well as a thread of blackcurrants. The palate has a very juicy edge with such succulent acidity that delivers a lively drive of fresh, quite crisp, blue-fruit flavors.
...opening aromas of forest floor, laurel, tobacco leaves and woodsmoke with red and black berry fruits. The medium-bodied palate is silky and juicy with a fine balance of intense fruit and earthy accents, and it finishes long and savory.
Highly perfumed, mineral- and spice-tinged red berry, cherry and incense aromas carry a suave floral nuance. Seamless and animated on the palate, offering intense raspberry, bitter cherry, spicecake and rose pastille flavors and a touch of succulent herbs on the back half. Finishes silky, spicy and impressively long, displaying excellent clarity and fine-grained tannins that lend gentle grip.
...ripest...fruit-forward...chunky...with a solid core of cherry fruit and balancing acids.
