Tasting Notes and Scores

94 JR

Inky ruby. Intensely perfumed aromas of black and blue fruit liqueur, exotic spices, olive and potpourri are energized by a smoky mineral nuance. Juicy and expansive in the mouth, displaying impressively concentrated boysenberry and cherry preserve flavors complemented by suggestions of candied violet, licorice and bitter chocolate. The floral and mineral notes come back strong on a strikingly long, penetrating finish that features building tannins and a sweet touch of cola.

92% Syrah, 8% Marsanne. Cask sample. Gorgeous fragrance – violet, chocolate, black cherry. Long, toasty and meaty aftertaste on the finish. Fine-grained tannin with excellent persistence of fruit, as well as vivid and delicious fragrance. The full package! (RH)
