Estimate
This red offers plenty of fruit initially, with deep strawberry and cherry flavors that show a touch of mint. Fleshy and round, this exhibits more tannins than the Echézeaux, yet its oak is well-absorbed. Fine length.
...exhibits a rich, roasted meat dimension to parallel its sweetness of ripe red raspberry and cherry, with hints of vanilla and caramel adding a confectionary hint, and a flatteringly plush, creamy texture. Cardamom, soy, and ginger add pungency and savor to a long, layered finishing melange.
...subtle spice and earth notes as well as notes of game, jerky and tea, most of which are picked up by the fresh, intense, powerful and moderately well muscled big-bodied flavors that possess an attractive mouth feel and solid finishing depth.
Lovely lift to the aromas of raspberry, minerals, white pepper and white truffle. With compelling energy and saline complexity to its red berry and mineral flavors. The long finish is at once suave and gripping.
