Hightone, overarching oak. Volatile edge. |
Dark garnet in the glass, this wine smells of oak and camphorwood. In the mouth, sweet oak, brown sugar and coffee dominate the fruit, and the tannins sit heavy and peanut-butter-textured on the palate. Just overdone. |
Dried blood orange rind, reduced. Quite sour, tinny |
delicate just ripe blackberry, blueberry, - poking through oak spice, balanced structure. pleasant fruit ripeness to match the elevated tannin and acid. shows some brilliant poise. |
