Barboursville Vineyard – Octogone 2015 – Virginia

The nose is elegant, precise and offers a beautiful intense grain as well as a certain power. It reveals notes of roasting, crushed blackberry and small notes of undergrowth associated with touches of crushed raspberry as well as a hint of tobacco/tobacco box. The palate is nicely built, gourmand, supple, juicy, precise, elegant and offers finesse as well as a slight fluidity side. On the palate this wine expresses notes of black cherry, pulpy cassis and small notes of blackberry associated with a touch of crushed raspberry, flowers, dried raspberry as well as fine hints of tobacco, truffle, tonka bean and a discreet hint of camphor. Good length.
