Estimate
Astounding purity and depth. This wine emanates old vine concentration with deep raspberry and red plums, spicy complexity and a sappy, bracken-like edge. Powerful and elegant tannins, reminiscent of great Barolo!
Sexy, highly perfumed raspberry, boysenberry and floral pastille scents are complemented by hints of musky rhubarb and Asian spices. Palate-staining sweet red and blue fruit and spicecake flavors show power as well as superb vivacity thanks to a spine of juicy acidity. The floral quality comes back emphatically on a strikingly long, sappy finish shaped by smooth, slow-mounting tannins.
...perfumed and floral, with stone fruit and cherries demonstrating the ripeness of the fruit.
Rich and racy with real depth of flavour. Masses of fine tannins and really rather majestic. Hint of ginger syrup... Long.
...pretty, fresh and elegant bouquet of strawberries, sappy flowers and underbrush in a clean, beautifully balanced, elegant style.
