Fortrindeligt glas. Solbærblad, mint og pot pourri i næsen. Solbær, bramble, pot pourri og mint i munden også. Tør og behagelig varm, men stadigvæk med mineralitet. Kunne godt forveksles med Bolgheri eller Graves-stil. Intens og poleret.

Deep ruby to crimson red Distinct aromas of cedarwood, spice and oak lactones joined by vanilla and Bing cherry coulis, tinned cherry and cerise. Full-bodied with a rich texture, this modern wine is packed with ripe berries, black cherry yoghurt, pancake dough, and blackcurrant coulis. Further secondary notes of oak spices, vanilla, chocolate (70%), black forest gateau and cinnamon. There is a lively, bright acidity to balance out this smooth, sumptuous wine that finishes long with sweet, powdery tannins. An …

- Brick color with slow forming legs and aromas of black pepper, tobacco, tea and blackberry. It's balanced and has flavours of black pepper and cherry with a full body. Satin-Like texture with a long finish - Decanted one hour. Rich, dark red fruit finish. Good spice on this BIG wine.

Bell pepper, strawberry, leather. Very savory palate with currant and roasted pepper. Medium minus body, medium acid and tannin. Very pure, no noticeable new oak. Balanced, though green and light. Would have guessed Bdx because of the strong pepper character.

Average for the price point, medium bodied, good balance. Not a bad choice for restaurant. The fruit was nice with some currant, berries and some mild earthiness.

- Brick color with slow forming legs and aromas of bell pepper, black pepper, black currant, mint and tobacco. It's balanced and has flavours of black currant, blackberry, smokey and black pepper with a full body. Round texture with a long finish - Decanted two hours. Loaded with spice and delicious, rich dark fruit. Slight white pepper, leather and raspberry pie notes on the nose. Very similar to CDP, but with more body. Buy more now.
