...this totally mature, soft, round, fruity red offers up hints of underbrush, fruitcake, black currants, sweet kirsch and licorice.
Plenty of richness, depth and stuffing, along with excellent balance and focus. The core of currant, blackberry, anise, spice and cedar notes are all gracefully in place...
Dense, juicy and bright, with lovely definition and intensity of flavor. Not at all a thick style of merlot but has terrific verve and structure. Finishes with terrific tannin/acid spine and excellent persistence.
