Estimate
...a lot of intensity and beauty... The bouquet shows a glossy, polished quality with shiny cherry and plum. That smoothness applies to the palate, most specifically to the tannins... The wine's complexity is enhanced by spice, rusted iron, blood orange, balsam herb and hints of truffle essence.
Very attractive, ripe aromas of strawberries and cherries follow through to a full body with a big, rich mouthful of ripe fruit and chewy tannins.
...punchy, fruity wine... A burst of dark red cherry and plum fruit gives the 2016 a good deal of immediacy. Time in the glass brings out the wine’s natural power.
Really earthy nose, damp tobacco spice. Very rounded and mouth-filling.
