Estimate
Dark red and black fruit, grilled herbs, menthol, licorice, spice, leather and incense give the 2017 striking aromatic nuance. Deep and plush on the palate with plenty of supporting structure…
Attractively ripe, sweet-smelling aromas of blueberries and blackberries with a brambly edge. The palate has such succulent, complex and complete style with a super juicy, lithe edge to the pure black cherries and blackcurrants. Some plums and chocolate to close.
…notes of baked blackcurrants, fruitcake and tilled soil with hints of fallen leaves, yeast extract and dark chocolate. Medium to full bodied, the palate has a core of taut, muscular black fruit with firm, grainy tannins and bold freshness, finishing on a provocative mineral note.
...bright, juicy style as well as notes of black plums, currants, ground herbs, and dark chocolate. It's nicely concentrated, has elevated acidity, good purity, and fine tannins.
