...rocking notes of black cherries, spiced blackberries, dried herbs, and chocolate...ripe, fleshy, medium to full-bodied, and beautifully balanced, with a great finish.
The ripe raspberries and mulberries here are nicely underpinned by some cassis and plum notes. On the palate it is a riot of supple, soft fruit flesh. An all-round approachable red blend.
...shows an excellent balance and good structure on the medium to full-bodied palate... There is a line of elegance that is constant throughout this expression. Dark cherry, black raspberry and sweeter, floral red fruits sing on the lingering finish, and the wine delivers a seductive feeling that calls me back for a second and third sip.
Aromas of raspberry and plum plus hints of licorice and mocha. Supple, slightly medicinal flavors of cherry, raspberry, chocolate and spices convey a slightly high-toned character and very good intensity. More red fruits than black, with complicating herb and spice notes...nicely concentrated and creamy...finishes with plenty of broad, slightly dusty tannins and a late note of sweet oak.
