Estimate
...complex, perfumed style in its dried flowers, dried spices, vanilla and black cherry and black raspberry-like fruit profile...it’s full-bodied, concentrated and structured on the palate, yet has perfect balance and a great texture.
It opens with aromas of flowers, dried herbs, earth and mineral. The mouthfeel is dazzling, showing depth and intensity...
Deep nose offers scents of cherry, plum, spices and stony minerality. Silky, tactile and thick...offers great sweetness of fruit and a saline suggestion of strong dry extract... Finishes with a superb tannic spine and outstanding persistence.
Firm and chewy, with tannins around a sleek core of licorice-accented blackberry and currant fruit that keeps welling up as the finish persists with elegance. Harmonious.
