Note di degustazione
52% Merlot, 31% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Malbec. Earthy notes showing through – truffle and milk chocolate. Long, feathery length and rich leathery scent lingering on to the length. Bold but beautiful. (RH)

The 2005 Series M has a perfumed, floral bouquet of dark cherries, pressed iris, a touch of cigar box and light minty scents. The fresh, vibrant palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, mint-infused black cherry and boysenberry fruit and a potent, spicy, white pepper finish that lingers in the mouth. Excellent.
Big, sweet and a bit formless. Sort of New World sweet Bordeaux blend without a really convincing undertow. A bit dry and dusty. (JR)
