Item Description
2014 Darioush Darius II, in magnum
Bearing the remarkable complexity, poise and seamlessness that has become synonymous with this the Darioush estate’s crown jewel, 2014 Darius II expresses in equal parts the pure character of its hillside origins and the delicate nuance of an idyllic vintage, 2014. Collectors know that the Darius II is special--only special allocations allow its purchase.
On entry, sensational aromas of blueberry, blackcurrants, crème de cassis and spring blooms beckon an intensely voluptuous palate laden with tangy black and blue fruits—black cherry, plum and licorice flavors are framed by soft, finely-knit tannins and an impeccably delicate acidity. The wine is rich and opulent, with persistent notes of leather, tobacco and sandalwood incense adding depth and intrigue. A decadent earthy core of bittersweet cocoa and finely ground espresso is balanced by a fresh, lifted quality; flourishing beautifully in its youth, this wine is sure to reward the patient collector over the next decade or two.
