TCA though good fruit underneath (JR)
Bright medium red. Spicy red fruit aromas lifted by flowers. Sweet, juicy raspberry, dark chocolate and spice flavors are joined by a note of leather. Quite aromatic on the back half, finishing with dusty but sweet tannins that avoid hardness and very good grip and lift.
Deep red-ruby. Deeper pitch to the aromas of black raspberry, dark chocolate and violet; very much in a Vosne style. Broad, dry and suave, with notes of bitter chocolate, minerals and mocha. Finishes quite broad, with fine-grained tannins and lovely rising length.
