Estimate
...beautifully floral on the nose with dark rose petals alongside potpourri and garrigue notes alongside dark chocolate, creosote and shades of boysenberry liquor. The palate is ultra-refined and fresh with refined tannins and a pillowy texture. Light on its feet with serious weight and verve...a total stunner...
...aromas of blackcap raspberries and grape hyacinth that are flanked by bits of graphite and rosemary. Bittersweet dark chocolate duels with black cherries, citrus and black tea for flavor supremacy.
Red and black currants, bouquet garni, chocolate, iron, and cedar pencil are just some of its nuances, and it's rockingly good on the palate, with a voluptuous, round, full-bodied mouthfeel as well as polished ripe tannins.
...opens with a human catnip bouquet, mixing violet pastille and lavender with cedary spices and sugar-dusted wild blueberries. It sweeps across the palate, racy and sleek with fresh acidity and juicy red and blue fruits swirling throughout...gently tannic and wonderfully balanced, with a saturation of tart blackberries and exotic spice.
...a dark and spicy Bordeaux-style red with dried lavender, black cherry, black plum, cocoa powder and clove aromas. Full-bodied, firm and polished, with a broad tannin frame. Long, powerful and composed.
