Dark bright red. Meaty, floral and saline nuances to the brooding aromas and flavors of ripe red fruit. Big and tactile, with youthfully chewy aromas that will require patience.
A level of aromatic intensity and integrity that is impossible to exaggerate. Deep layers of Morello cherry, cassis, dried blackberry and spice. The oak component is beautifully integrated, imparting notes of chocolate and tobacco.
Juicy dark fruits, bramby berries, and succulent cherries cavort on a bed of licorice, potpourri, saddle leather, incense and sweet baking spices in this supple, superb ’01 Recioto. While this wine suffuses your mouth with flavors and textures, it’s nonetheless remarkably nimble; there’s nothing weighty about this silky, outrageously good dessert wine – it’s a knockout!
Plum core, crimson rim with a glossy sheen. There is an otherworldly aromatic element that is hard to define, a natural result of two hemispheres united by one winemaking philosophy. The Arabian spice souk leads the charge: dark, savory spice blends – harissa, baharat, cloves, nutmeg, pimento, cinnamon, fennel, anise. Deli meats provide further appeal: pastrami, jamón ibérico, finocchiona. Generous fruits, fresh punnets of blackberry, cassis liqueur, dehydrated blood orange.
The team at Ink Grade favors east and north-facing blocks for their own label, including the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged in a variety of different-sized oak vessels, the nose features scents of vanilla, cedar and cassis, with a gentle minty overtone. Full-bodied and firm but not lacking flesh or richness, this wine is dense and concentrated but lively and taut, with a long, dusty finish framed by fine-grained tannins.
