88 pts - WE Dense and weighty up front, with gaseous, earthy aromas giving way to standard blackberry and plum scents. Feels fleshy but also a bit racy, with nice raspberry, plum and modest oak flavors. A touch lactic and thick, but it's acidic enough to achieve balance and commendable end results.
Deep purple black in color, with fragrant aromas of black plums, blackberries, and blueberries. The palate is rich and inviting with ripe forest fruits and sweet smoky flavors.
This wine has a heady, yet dry nose with aromas of blueberries and leather. The palate has intense flavors of chocolate, mocha and plums, matched by a soft velvety texture and hint of spice. It finishes with a note of toasted oak.
From the second terrace level above the river Lot, this is a powerful as well as elegant single vineyard wine. It is touched by bitter fruits, along with great acidity and a depth of tannins.
The nose is full of rich black fruit aromas with light earth notes and a touch of roasted coffee. The mouthfeel is full and sweet, with juicy black cherry fruit flavors, a touch of chocolate and sweet spice from light oak aging. This finish is long and lingering, with ripe, velvety tannins.
Dark black, - hence the name. Dry and candied fruits and licorice on the nose. Robust, richly flavored palate with loads of dark plum, raspberry and boysenberry- all backed up by a bold tannic frame. Good mix of five spice and dark chocolate and creamy notes on the finish. Perfect with braised meats or as a chocolate dessert accompaniment. List Price $59.99
