Deep red/purple.
Killer earth/green herb/Bordeux weeds, blackcurrant, light tomato nose.
Really plush, deep, mouthfilling, with blackcurrant, herb and tomato repeating. Then fairly stiff acid/tannin synergy kicks in.
An eye-opener.
$50? Thanks to Mike and Bonnie Irwin for opening these wines this afternoon. This wine and the Belle Hermitage rattled my cage.
