"The nose seems to be taken directly from extract of cassis as the aromas are so ripe yet incredibly fresh and possess an extraordinary panoply of secondary nuances, including earth, underbrush, leather, soy and spice. The powerful, indeed forceful flavors coat and stain the palate and completely buffer the solid tannic spine. In short, this is flat out incredible juice and worth a special search to find. In a word, wow!..."

Very good dark red. Sexy, complex nose opens dramatically with aeration to offer scents of small crushed berries, kirsch, smoked meat, iron, licorice, mocha and menthol. The kirsch element carries through onto the wonderfully dense, plush yet brisk palate, where a note of prune is leavened by excellent acidity. This very concentrated wine is more juicy than opulent.
