Estimate
...highly perfumed bouquet evokes candied red berries, smoky minerals and licorice, and a sexy floral note emerges with air. Sappy, broad and sweet, offering intense black raspberry, cherry and lavender pastille flavors that deepen steadily with air. Shows surprising vivacity for its richness. Finishes spicy, smooth and very long, with rounded tannins adding gentle grip.
...kirsch liqueur, ground pepper, earthy garrigue, and dried soil notes. Rounded, supple, and sexy on the palate, it has terrific fruit, ripe tannins, and a classic, focused texture.
Full and fleshy black fruit, plenty of tannic fibre giving grip, a generous dash of acidity to balance the finish. Piquant spice on the length, with good persistence.
