Estimate
Delicately layered, it is floral on the nose and crisp in red fruit on the lengthy palate, and offers a tremendous amount of structure, balance and grace.
...nose of mulled red and black fruits, forest floor, conifer, and spiced orange...medium-bodied...with wonderful purity of fruit, a pure, precise texture, nicely integrated acidity, and a great finish.
The aromatics alone are captivating. Rose petal, blood orange, mint, star anise and sweet red berry fruit literally soar out of the glass. The balance of fruit, aromatics and structure is beguiling...impressive.
A herbaceous nose of sage and roasted rosemary with notes of leather and lots of ripe red fruit as well. Full-bodied with a smooth texture and fine, well-integrated tannins. Rich and lush fruit coats the palate, together with a lovely note of fresh mint. Long finish.
