Estimate
Sleek and well-focused, intense and concentrated, offering loamy earth, plum, black cherry and dark berry character, with a touch of mocha. Full-bodied and pleasantly chewy, this needs time but shows a touch of delicacy and finesse.
The vineyard is in a very cool, damp part of the valley & this particular bottling always shows a dry finish, considerable tannins and an earthiness not found in warmer parts of the appellation... a dense core of sour cherry candy fruit...
