Estimate
...perfumed and elegant, soaring from the glass with scents of roses, peonies, orange rind and sweet red berries. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and sensual, with melting tannins, succulent acids and a saline finish...
...ripe nose with raspberry, cranberry and quite conspicuous rose petal scents...palate is medium-bodied with sweet, ripe tannins, the new oak a little more present here, smooth towards the finish...
Initial oaky sweetness, then scented red fruit. Quite firm extraction seems to have given a little bitterness on the finish, though the tannins are fine-grained and smooth. A little tart on the finish, though no lack of freshness.
