Estimate
...deep, plush and hauntingly beautiful wine with tremendous power, dazzling intensity and remarkable richness. An ample, expansive and broad wine of striking inner perfume and sweetness...flat-out stunning. Crushed raspberry, mint, spice and blood orange infuse the 2016 with incredible depth and complexity before it finishes with mind-blowing intensity... Wow!
Enticingly fragrant...aromas of wild red berry, botanical herb, rose and smoky flint. Vibrant and savory, the chiseled palate delivers strawberry compote, pomegranate, thyme and licorice before an energizing orange-zest close. Taut fine-grained tannins and racy acidity...
...dark fruit, smoked bacon...pepper spices...crushed flowers...shows stems and bramble, although they are not green or astringent. A better descriptor would be spice, cinnamon and unripe cherry.
...spicy notes adding great depth to the fruit on the nose. Energetic, profound red-fruit palate with a layer of firm yet finely sculpted, grainy tannins.
