Estimate
Bright, floral and lifted...captures all of the finesse that makes wines from this site so seductive. Rose petal, crushed flowers of all sorts, red stone fruits, mint and cinnamon all lift from the glass in a precise, impeccable Burgundy.
...reveal a very harmonious, feminine, delineated bouquet with perfectly placed red berry fruit, touches of flint and even marmalade...palate is beautifully balanced with filigree tannins, very well judged acidity with a sensual, supremely focused finish with razor-like precision and beguiling femininity. Outstanding.
...scents of raspberry, lees and underbrush. Then almost shockingly penetrating in the mouth, with powerful saline minerality giving shape to the berry, smoke, exotic spice, mineral and earth flavors...extremely long, smoky aftertaste, where the tannins are thoroughly buffered by the wine's mid-palate material.
Racy and energetic. Not heavy in any sense. Bravo!
