Larkmead Firebelle 2016

Intricate and captivating wine with a rich, earthy nose featuring herbal and mineral notes, alongside a light whisper of catnip and mint. The tongue is shaped by a rich, dark fruit profile, with a long, savory trail and a pleasing mouthfeel. The color is a deep, dark ruby. The wine's consistency is velvety, with a nuanced viscosity. A wine that benefits from decanting, we recommend pairing it with rich, savory cheeses, such as Bellavitano. As for its age, CellarTracker whispers that this wine is still in its early stages of development. A wine that warrants patience and careful consideration.

Intense and powerful wine with a light initial reserve, gradually yielding to a full bodied and deep cherry flavor profile, with a round and lingering trail that unfolds with a sweet and savory note of unripe strawberry, caramel, licorice, and accents of sage.

Rich, full-bodied blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Petit Verdot, with a deep, inky purple hue. The nose is highlighted by a rich array of aromas, featuring black cherry, violet, shiitake mushroom, walnut, and espresso, which are expertly refined and paired by a rich, round texture. The taste is lavish, with a lush, full-bodied feel and a firm, gritty tannin backbone that provides a rewarding backbone. The trail is long and satisfying, with a dense, compact smoothness and a delicate aftertaste of black chocolate truffle filled with cherry.
