Estimate
Distinctly minerally, with a saline quality to the ripe raspberry and cherry flavors, coming together harmoniously against powdery tannins on the long, vivid finish.
...blackberry and briary scented bouquet with subtle earthy tones, nicely defined...palate is medium-bodied with soft and supple texture...plenty of spice towards the finish with black pepper and clove notes infusing the black fruit.
...array of fresh red fruit, floral and spice scents are joined by hints of cola and smoky minerals as the wine opens up. Juicy and energetic in style, particularly in the context of the vintage, offering raspberry, rose pastille and star anise flavors that deepen and spread out on the back half. Closes impressively long and sappy; fine-grained tannins sneak in late.
...mix of raspberry and black cherry. Forward, bright and lightly spicy, it's nicely focused effort with some high acid snap to the finish.
