Estimate
Rich and smoldering, with black cherry, violet and stony mineral aromas and flavors, this is pure and precise. The finish comes together on a beam of cherry and stone.
A more elegant and somewhat higher-toned nose reflects notes of various red berries, violet, lavender and once again a whiff of spice nuance. The wonderfully sleek and energetic medium weight flavors possess almost palpable minerality on the saline, balanced and refreshing finale.
Lovely aromas of cherries, orange rind and candied peel mingle with savory bass notes in an expressive bouquet...medium to full-bodied, ample wine that has gained in fleshy and texture...succulent, melting profile.
The perfumed nose, mainly of black fruit here, reveals a touch of pressed iris that is nicely defined. The palate is replete with crunchy black fruit and a hint of cassis. Very transparent, easygoing and nonchalant in style, with a harmonious and tender finish.
Weightless, aérien, very fine tannins, with a darker and more savoury finish, more mineral and pencil-like on the aftertaste. A lovely dustiness in the dry finish. Light on its feet. Amazingly long...
