Cuilleron, Saint-Joseph, Cavanos

Very deep ruby w/hints of lavender & purple. Outrageously aromatic. Wild red, black & blue berries. Flower petals & blossoms, with a minor in herbal/flowery. Spectacular rich, thick, juicy, fresh & sappy crushed berries. Mulberry, ultra ripe choke cherry, creamy Blueberry, plum sauce, licorice, blackberry, violet, cherry stone, raspberry, lilac & lavender. Salty minerality throughout. Big, fat, rich, ripe, lush tannins are already remarkably integrated. Spicy, herbal stem inclusion gains power with extended air. Excellent acidity, intensity, depth & length. …

Also darker and more concentrated on the nose. Black snappy fruit to it. Tart and tangy, a bit hard edged, needing some time. Intense.
