Estimate
...bright, punchy and so expressive. Black cherry, plum, leather, cedar, menthol and licorice infuse the 2018 with striking darkness and an element of sepia-toned mystic beauty that is compelling. Ample in feel and broad, with striking energy...such a complete wine.
...complex, earthy bouquet of black cherry and raspberry fruits as well as notes of forest floor, new leather, and spice...this medium to full-bodied beauty has an incredibly seamless texture and a great finish...pure, fleshy, beautiful Pinot Noir...
Arresting scents of fresh flowers and raspberries. Beautifully seamless in the mouth with raspberry, dusty earth, thyme and dried lavender notes shot through with brilliant, filigreed acidity. Faint tannins are quite fine-grained and powdery. There's an effortlessness to this wine that is instantly disarming... Phenomenal.
A more obviously floral-suffused nose of spicy red and dark pinot fruit is trimmed in evident wood and menthol nuances. The lavishly rich and overtly powerful flavors possess excellent mid-palate density and plenty of power that really builds on the long, raspy and borderline rustic finish.
