Estimate
Powerfully scented bouquet of dark berries, Asian spices, olive tapenade and potpourri, with a strong undercurrent of smoky minerals. Juicy and sweet, offering deep blackberry and cassis flavors and a wild, meaty quality that gains strength with air. Really stains the palate, finishing sweet, clear and long.
...gorgeously concentrated black raspberry, black cherry, bouquet garni, and forest floor characteristics. This is a complex, pure, deep, nicely-textured St.-Joseph...
Peppered steak on the nose, with damson jam on the side. Dry and savoury on the palate, woodspice, pencil shavings, textured tannins and vibrant acidity with leads the finish away gradually and gratifyingly. Good.
