Estimate
This is exuberantly spicy with its complex array of plum, violet, earth, pepper and plum liqueur aromas. There is really lovely intensity to the textured, punchy and mineral-inflected flavors that possess the best mid-palate concentration in the range, all wrapped in a beautifully complex and persistent finish that is shaped by a moderately firm tannic spine.
Some good clarity of bright citrus and white nectarines with a chalky, nougat-like edge. The palate has attractive yellow and orange citrus zest. A smooth, focused, acid-fueled finish.
