Estimate
...a concentrated, dense wine with gobs of flavor, a velvety texture, excellent integration of oak, tannin, and acidity, and a seamless, 60+ second finish.
Lithe and velvety in texture, with stacks and stacks of flavor on a fine-grained frame, this is a wine of real elegance. Currant, blueberry and plum flavors mingle effortlessly and pick up cream and subtle spice notes...
Complex, perfumed, fruit-driven nose features plum, currant, cranberry and sexy Taransaud spices. Sweet, suave and fine-grained, with the sexy spice character following through in the mouth.
... This wine has the stuffing missing from the rest, with tight, chewy young fruit that has good weight and extract. There’s a hint of dried wild herb and the stiff tannins that often mark this vineyard’s wines.
