The tannins are silky and melt over the palate. Along the way, the wine offers high notes of red cherry, cassis and blue flower.
...fresh and floral bouquet, with aromas of ripe raspberries, anise, and orange pith. Medium-bodied and approachable now, it offers fine tannins and a clean, weightless feel, with a pithy texture and notes of white tea on the finish.
The nose is metallic, earthy and stony, with cherry undertones providing levity. Cherries take a star turn on the palate, with strawberries and raspberries playing crucial supporting roles, while a tension between astringent orange and creamy mocha emerges on the lengthy finish.
...exotic array of sweet spices, cedar shavings, ashen stone, mint and hints of sage. It’s luxuriously soft in texture, silky and refined, with depths of balsamic-tinged cherries accelerated by vibrant acidity and a hint of sour citrus that adds contrast...finishes with impressive structure for the vintage, still lively yet classically dry, leaving nuances of tart berries offset by a burst of inner sweetness that punctuates quite well.
A dense red hallmarked by flavors of cherry, plum, loamy earth, thyme, sage, sanguine and tobacco. Austere, with lively acidity and dusty tannins holding court on the compact finish.
Attractive nose of salted plums, sour cherries, dried roses and rosemary stems. Firm yet sleek with a medium to full body and layers of fresh fruit with delicious herb undertones.
Savoury and with hints of raw meat and still quite embryonic and reductive. Needs lots of aeration to show gorgeous raspberry hints. On the palate, lush fruit with long, polished, yet chewy, tannins. Perfumed, sweet raspberry fruit follows through the finish.
