anise and the sauvage adding breadth to the ripe dark currant scents

This is at once more elegant and spicier as well with its pretty combination of red currant

There is fine volume to the exceptionally rich medium weight flavors that possess a seductive mid-palate that delivers fine depth and length on the balanced finish

Two wines that I did not see from bottle have turned out to be close to perfection

with air it could actually be enjoyed though one thing that is crystal clear is that this is very much on the rise

An exuberantly spicy nose features additional aromas of black cherry

and there's no sweetness whatsoever

The freshness continues onto the appealingly energetic medium weight flavors that exude a fine bead of minerality on the more complex and slightly more persistent finale

The oak is completely obscured by the lavish

with some 35% of the volume in barrique

but with velvety tannin and stunning purple and black fruits

It exhibits a deep ruby/purple hue in addition to abundant aromas of smoky oak
