Estimate
...block selection, ripe, rich and beautifully rounded out...full bodied without becoming jammy, a lush compote of berries, cherries, citrus oil and refined acids that conjure up ripe pineapple juice. A long, lightly smoky finish seems to go on for endless minutes.
...complex, highly perfumed bouquet evokes ripe red berries, cherry compote, potpourri and smoky Indian spices, with a bright mineral topnote gaining power... Stains the palate with intense raspberry and cherry-cola flavors sharpened and lifted by juicy minerality and a touch of white pepper. Offers a very suave combination of richness and vivacity and closes on a spicy note, with outstanding clarity, silky tannins and excellent persistence.
...dark and quite broody bouquet that takes time to open and it does and offer redcurrant and raspberry fruit...palate is medium-bodied sweet ripe cranberries dallying with fresh strawberries plus a hint of cola...lovely balance in situ and it offers a caressing finish.
