Estimate
This has a dusty character on the nose with soil, dried fruit and blueberry. Flowers too. Full body, firm tannins and a fresh finish. Tight and structured. Shows wonderful depth of fruit and beauty. Chewy.
Broad and intense, exhibiting floral, cherry, rhubarb, leather and almond notes. Well-knit and vibrant, with a compact finish. Should stretch out nicely.
Rich and beautifully layered in the glass, but also remarkably weightless, the 2011 is all about harmony. Sweet tobacco, mint, crushed flowers and licorice all flesh out in the glass.
...loaded tight with ripe fruit nuances of strawberry, black fruit and prune...this wine excels in terms of mouthfeel with polished tannins and a great sense of energy and momentum.
Sweet and ripe on the nose. Then very marked acidity on the palate. A refined essence of Sangiovese.
