Estimate
Sexy, soil-driven aromas of red cherry, raspberry, underbrush, rose petal and salty minerality...Silky on entry, then densely packed but weightless in the mid-palate, displaying outstanding inner-mouth spicy, floral lift
Tightly wound and marked by assertive tannins. Shows a leafy, vegetal side, complemented by a core of cherry, raspberry and sweet spice notes. Dense and muscular, with licorice and tobacco details on the finish.
An open red cherry, crushed strawberry and sea spray-scented bouquet...The palate is refined with grippy tannin and a commendable sense of energy and tension. The salinity comes through on the finish
Cherry and overtly floral-scented nose where ample hints of the sauvage and warm earth eventually appear... coating the palate and pushing the even firmer tannic spine to the background on the powerful and intensely mineral-driven finale.
Good fruit density underneath and some polish but still very much a work in progress. Lots of grainy tannin. Serious and lively.
