Estimate
As fabulous as ever, this brilliant compendium of nutty-toasty-buttery scents and flavors is never tiring. It's vivid, fruit-loaded and bracing. Well-ripened citrus and stone fruits come into focus, along with streaks of vanilla and lemongrass.
A complex, fresh style with lemons and white peaches, as well as nectarines and pastry. The palate has a vibrant, enlivened feel with impressive focus and acidity cut through attractive, ripe orchard fruit.
... Expressive, oak-spiced orchard and pit fruit scents are complicated by toasty lees and floral elements. Sappy and broad on the palate, offering juicy nectarine, pear nectar, orange zest and vanilla flavors energized by a core of juicy acidity. Shows excellent breadth and spicy thrust on a very long, mineral-tinged finish that leaves ripe citrus and orchard fruit notes behind.
