Estimate
...complex red berry aromas. Impressively concentration, focused and graceful...fine tannins keep kicking this down the road at the very long finish.
...silky and fragrant, boasting sandalwood, vanilla, black cherry, black currant and violet flavors underlined by vivid acidity. Balanced and approachable...
The nose wafts from the glass in a youthful mix of cherries, woodsmoke, pigeon, coffee, a complex base of soil tones, just a touch of new oak and a beautiful topnote of sweet stem tones from the whole clusters. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and nicely structured out of the blocks, with an excellent core of fruit, fine soil undertow, ripe, buried tannins and lovely balance and grip on the long and complex finish.
...very promising, mingling aromas of cherries and berries with hints of peony, orange rind and forest floor in an incipiently complex bouquet. Medium to full-bodied, layered and multidimensional, it's charming and complete, with supple tannins and a concentrated core of fruit.
An even more floral-suffused nose offers another step up in elegance with its attractively spiced aromas of rose petal, violet, sandalwood and cool red cherry. The sleek, intense and sophisticated medium weight flavors brim with minerality and dry extract on the balanced, persistent and complex finale.
...dark berry fruit mingling with autumn leaves and earthy notes. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins on the entry...more grip, with subtle mushroom notes combining with red fruit on the finish.
