Estimate
Sleek and elegantly rich, with a vibrant backbone of polished tannins and bright acidity wrapped in expressive raspberry and orange zest flavors, with sandalwood and other zesty spice notes.
...aromatic and beautifully structured...starts out on the lean side, hinting at rhubarb but rolling into riper raspberry and spicy plum fruit. The herbs have a peppery bite, and the overall impression is of a complex and layered wine.
Spicy raspberry, cherry and floral scents are complicated by subtle vanilla and smoky mineral notes. Gently sweet and supple on the palate, offering juicy red and dark berry flavors... Leads strongly with its berry fruit, and delivers solid finishing thrust, discreet tannins and very good, spice-tinged persistence.
