The wines’ aromatics are intense and deep, needing time in the glass, and some
air, to surface. Black fruit…cassis, blackberry…some dark flavors…pepper,
chocolate…and warm tones of oak begin to present themselves. Deep black fruit
and complexity are hallmarks of this wine. Given the intensity, palate entry is
surprisingly silky and elegant, building to strong weight and flavor concentration
in the mid palate, big ripe and chewy tannins, sweet black fruit intensity, finishing
with strength and duration of dark earthy flavors that gradually melt away.
Overall, Series C is a refined and concentrated wine, with strong fruit weight and
rich tannins. Tightly structured, it invites and satisfies; giving extended pleasure
over time in the glass.
Ageing potential? Given the balance and concentration of this wine it should
develop over ten years and easily hold for another ten.
