Estimate
Pure black currants on the nose with an incredible al dente grape character. It’s almost like grape must. Undertone of ink and violets and sandalwood. Perfumed. Hints of spearmint. Full-bodied...so well-formed... A touch of mint on the palate with dark fruits...very complete... I keep being impressed with the purity of fruit with the earthy undertones and stones. Savory.
...vibrant, floral and fresh... Violet and cassis notes are accented by hints of crushed stone and pencil shavings on the nose. Hugely complex yet harmonious...medium-bodied...firm but silky in feel, with a long, elegant finish. Lovely stuff.
...nose of ripe black fruits, cassis, camphor, scorched earth, violet, and lead pencil aromas and flavors...concentrated, has a pure, layered, focused style, ripe tannins, and a great finish.
...offers a gorgeous display of pure, unadulterated mulberry, boysenberry and plum fruit puree flavors that glisten as they move along, throwing off light accents of anise, violet and hibiscus along the way. Inlaid with an underlying fine-grained structure in the form of sleek threads of iron and alder, this shows tensile strength while extending through the long, refined finish.
Bright and floral, with silky tannins...exceptionally finessed and so elegant.
Intense nose draws you in with its layers and sophistication. Aromatic and polished.
