Estimate
Suave, smoke-accented aromas of raspberry preserves, pungent flowers, incense and cola, along with a hint of allspice in the background. Sappy and expansive on the palate, offering intense red berry, allspice and floral pastille flavors that are sharpened by a jolt of zesty acidity. Shows superb clarity and spicy bite on a long, penetrating finish shaped by silky, even tannins.
Expressive rose petal and black cherry aromas lead to plush and complex raspberry, spice box and dark tea flavors that gain momentum toward polished tannins.
...offering notions of cranberries and red currants over earth aromas of tree bark, moss, truffles and Provence herbs. Medium-bodied, the palate is restrained with a quiet intensity of red berry and earthy flavors, supported by fine-grained tannins and lively acid, finishing long.
Its dusty raspberry aromas lead to a midpalate rich with crushed red fruit flavors. It finishes with a savory suggestion of chicken stock, along with well-modulated, drying tannins.
Restrained aromas come from both sides of the fruit spectrum with notes of red cherry, dark currant and plum plus hints of violet and spiced tea. Rich, round and caressing medium weight flavors possess good mid-palate volume while exhibiting fine length on the dusty, serious and structured finale.
