Estimate
...aromas of kirsch liqueur, blackberry, roasted meats, lavender, flowers, and garrigue that all soar from the glass... Full-bodied and weightless on the palate, yet with brilliant concentration, a seamless, silky texture, and fabulous underlying structure and purity...
...over-the-top richness, a full-bodied mouthfeel, lots of black fruits, loads of viscosity, alcohol and fruit extract and supple tannins.
Wild, intensely perfumed nose evokes red and dark berry preserves, apricot, potpourri and Indian spices. Rich and fleshy but surprisingly lithe, offering juicy raspberry and mulberry flavors and notes of candied lavender and star anise. Silky tannins add focus to the very long, sappy, spice-accented finish.
