Estimate
Pure, subdued nose offers subtly perfumed notes of flowers, exotic spices, smoke and earth. Silky, sweet and highly concentrated in the mouth, with superb energy and length...
... reserved but deeper nose of densely fruit and spice leading to exceptionally concentrated, textured and palate staining flavors that possess a beguiling mouth feel and positively huge length.
... scents of black currant, raw meat, violets and truffles... notes of roasted meat and caramelized parsnip welling up as one works it around, this is refined and long with subtle spices and salty minerality meeting the fruit...
Quite warm and racy on the nose. Lots of zest and power. A very upright wine with good concentration and balance. Savoury and true to the appellation. Admirable persistence.
