Estimate
...utterly profound... ...a glorious bouquet of black cherries, blackberries, truffles, lavender, licorice, and spring flowers... ...extremely full-bodied and rich with intense levels of extract and tannin...
Silky and forward, with black tea, melted licorice, hoisin sauce, mocha and currant fruit flavors gliding along cocoa-tinged tannins. Additional hints of tobacco, chestnut and grilled beef flitter through the finish...
Very complex nose displays vivid scents of raspberry, blackcurrant, olive and garrigue Deep, palate-coating red and dark berry flavors are complicated by smoky herbal and floral pastille qualities, with silky tannins adding focus.
Relatively light and sinewy on the nose for a special cuvée. Thick and dense and sweet on the palate though – some obvious oak influence on the finish. Cross between Châteauneuf and modern red wine. Grenache with 5% Syrah in cuve.
