Estimate
Deep-pitched red and dark berry aromas... Juicy and deeply concentrated yet lithe, offering sweet black raspberry, cherry cola and floral pastille flavors and a refreshing jolt of peppery spices. The strikingly long, focused finish features resonating florality and supple tannins that fold effortlessly into the clinging, sappy fruit.
...beautifully built and already showing the complexity that predicts a long life ahead. The old-vine grapes create a skeleton of mineral and acid upon which just-ripe fruit flavors of mulberry, plum and blueberry are placed.
Aromatics of pine, crisp red currant and cranberry. Vibrant red fruits and earthy accents through the palate lead to a crunchy mineral finish. Persistent acidity and fine tannins with just a bit of creaminess through the mid palate and a touch of heat on the finish.
