An absolutely amazing wine...Opaque purple in color, it is beyond belief in extract and concentration, but perfectly balanced ..Massively concentrated..Intense notes of grilled meats, spice box, cassis, black cherry, licorice and graphite
I love the purity of fruit in this wine, showing perfectly ripe blackberry, blueberry and raspberry on the nose. Complex and full-bodied...
Knockout nose combines blackberry, minerals, crushed rock, truffle, vanillin oak and flowers...
...Refreshing, savoury, leathery nose, though the oak is a bit obvious. Pretty angular on the finish at the moment but pretty impressively long...
