Estimate
Bright and vivid with crushed raspberries and orange peel on the nose. Full body...solid tannins and a long and flavorful finish. Pretty austerity.
Rose, strawberry, cherry and black pepper aromas and flavors are the highlights of this red. The unyielding structure provides support, surrounded by a lush texture. Fine length.
Red berry, toast and black spice aromas lead the nose, accented by whiffs of espresso. The palate offers licorice, clove, dried cherry and vanilla notes, while a backbone of fine-grained tannins provides support.
Dark transparent ruby. Pale rim. Rich, ripe, round red fruits – even glacé strawberry – on the nose with gamey hints. Very round and smooth. A new sense of sophistication when compared with the 2010. Very savoury on the palate – cries out for food although the tannins are silky and the fruit beautifully fresh.
