Nose
This rich and bold wine exhibits a dense mix of aromas that include blackberry preserves, blueberries, black currants, anise, espresso and cocoa with a touch of minerality. It is enhanced with its expression of hoisin and soy among the concentrated dark, ripe fruit notes.
Palate
Those layered purple fruit and deep dark licorice flavors envelope the mouth with intense inky and velvety tannins, followed by a wonderful long, lingering finish. As this 2010 evolves in my glass, it is signature Roy Cabernet Sauvignon; seductive and powerful, yet harmonious, showing that wonderful richness and purity of flavor from this unique and special property.
