Estimate
Ripe red berries, potpourri, vanilla and a hint of incense on the assertively perfumed nose, which is sharpened and lifted by a building mineral quality. Silky and energetic on the palate, offering alluringly sweet, spice-laced cherry, raspberry liqueur and rose pastille flavors and a touch of five-spice powder...finishes very long and silky, delivering solid, spicy thrust, fine-grained tannins and a repeating floral pastille note.
...beautiful nose of tar and violets over a core of blueberries preserves, black cherries and berries plus earthy notions of forest floor, black tea leaf and blood orange peel. Medium-bodied, it fills the mouth with warm black cherries and violets, with fine-grained tannins and great freshness, finishing very long with a streak of crushed rock minerality.
