Estimate
The bouquet is deep, pure and precise, wafting from the glass in a mix of red plums, cherries, raw cocoa, gamebird, peonies, woodsmoke, gentle spice tones and a lovely framing of new oak. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, focused and has beautiful old vine depth at the core, with excellent soil signature, ripe, firm tannins and great balance and grip on the long, youthful and complex finish.
...nicely focused mixture of red and black fruit, white pepper and sage and touches of black truffle. The palate is medium-bodied with good grip and notes of white pepper and cumin, deepening toward the finish.
Meaty and darker fruited... Quite oaky and savoury on the palate. Firm, dry tannins...good depth of fruit and enough freshness.
