Estimate
...fresh, focused, yet seamless style to go with a huge bouquet of cassis, underbrush, violets, and hints of blood orange. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied, has beautifully integrated acidity, and a pretty, pure, graceful profile.
Aromas of blackberries, pumice and black cherries. Full-bodied, very tight and finely chewy. Fascinating white peppers and salt undertones to the cool fruits. Vivid acidity gives it energy and definition.
...fresh, focused and sanguine, with lovely layers of blueberry, rhubarb and orange peel. Tangy acidity rides throughout its bolder, richer elements of supple tannin structure and integrated oak. A tangy hit of crisp rhubarb and cranberry lingers on the long finish.
...perfume of cranberry sauce, rhubarb and red berry jam hints with tree bark, underbrush, tobacco leaf and black cherries. The palate is medium to full-bodied, silky, rounded and slowly gains in amplitude in the mouth, giving up red then black fruits, spices, earth and savory notions...sturdy frame of very finely grained tannins and juicy acidity...finishing long and nuanced.
Impressive for the supple array of plum, raspberry, black cherry, spice and light oak flavors.
