Estimate
A markedly ripe yet still reasonably fresh and highly spiced nose features notes of poached plum and cassis with violet and rose petal top notes. There is outstanding mid-palate density to the overtly powerful and sappy larger-scaled flavors that deliver incredible length on the robust, compact and impressively persistent finish.
...quintessential "RC" on the nose, which features crystalline scents of wild strawberry and cranberry fruit, crushed limestone, oyster shell and pressed rose petal...medium-bodied with super-fine tannins that frame the ethereal red fruit...stunning elegance. The finish seems to go on forever.
