Estimate
...exotically perfumed bouquet evokes black raspberry and boysenberry, incense, candied violet and smoky minerals. Intense, palate-staining black and blue fruit and floral pastille flavors are complicated by exotic spice and mineral notes...
...features plummy fruit and roasted meat, swirled together in a medium to full-bodied wine that's already quite drinkable. Lush and creamy in texture, it picks up some brighter berry notes on the long, layered finish.
Lively and fresh, with racy red currant and savory notes streaming together, along with mouthwatering acidity that gives this good cut. Flashes of bitter plum, violet and white pepper streak through as well. The fruit darkens and fleshes out with air. Very solid.
Pristine blackberry and cherry flavors are crisp and cutting in this more classically restrained expression of Côte-Rôtie. It's freshly concentrated but nuanced, edged by whiffs of bramble, char and sage that penetrate through a long, chalky finish.
...gives up exotic notes of blue fruits, crushed violets, ground pepper (even some white pepper), and exotic flowers. Fresh, elegant and seamless, with nicely integrated acidity, it doesn't have the power of the La Brocarde but is refined, elegant and downright silky. It's a beauty.
