Estimate
...perfumed, complex bouquet of sweet red and black raspberry, fresh flowers, licorice, toasted spice, and chalky minerality that leads to a medium to full-bodied, incredibly supple and polished Mourvedre that has no hard edges, fantastic purity, and a clean, lengthy finish.
Lovely Old World aromas of raspberry, flowers, white pepper and licorice; smells like Bandol. A saline cherry bomb on the palate, showing superb depth and underlying structure and a complicating gamey character. Finishes pliant and long, with suave tannins.
Showing great concentration and varietal character...tart, brambly, pure Mourvèdre... Sour plum and spice lend themselves to a lingering, detailed finish.
...salted sirloin juices serving for mouthwatering savor, and bright but satisfyingly ripe plum and cherry unobtrusively tinged by vanilla and caramel from barrel on a silken palate.
