Estimate
...bouquet of dark berry fruits, peppery herbs, garrigue, and obvious minerality...full-bodied and elegant on the palate...
...powerful, intoxicating wine meshing rich black cherry and berry flavors...finishing on chalky, gripping tannins.
...raspberry, boysenberry and exotic spice qualities on the perfumed nose, along with expanding garrigue and mineral notes. Sappy and penetrating on the palate, offering bitter cherry, red/blue fruit liqueur, lavender and licorice flavors that steadily turn sweeter on the back half. Finishes very long and smooth, with rounded tannins framing lingering red fruit and floral notes.
Juicy black cherries, smoke and something slightly granitic on the palate. Warm alcohol on the finish, but the flavour intensity mostly obscures that. Finishes with roasted coffee aromas.
