...slips sensuously out of the glass with the most beautiful notions of warm cassis, redcurrant jelly, chocolate-covered cherries and cigar box plus wafts of incense, cinnamon stick, cardamom, dried lavender and star anise. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has exquisitely ripe, finely grained tannins and fantastic freshness lifting all those vibrant fruit and earthy nuances to a very long, mineral-laced finish.
Another super-impressive effort... Today the 2009 is a touch less vibrant than the 2010, but more overt and voluptuous... The 2009 is 95% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot.
...offering pure blue fruits and crème de cassis nuances as well as violets, spice box, and flowers...tannins are polished, the balance is spot on, and it has a terrific mid-palate and a great finish.
Beautifully crafted and marked by a distinctively complex, subtle mix of dried herb, baking spices and floral scents, with a tight core of currant and blackberry. Finishes with a surge of flavors that build and expand.
Pristine, high-pitched aromas of blackberry, boysenberry, licorice and violet Wonderfully fruity and energetic, with its dark fruit and floral flavors... This thick but juicy midweight delivers a very pure expression of its vineyard... Finishes very long and firmly tannic, with no rough edges.
