Estimate
Loads of blue fruits, violets, graphite, and tobacco all emerge from this gorgeous wine, followed by full-bodied richness, building tannins, a gravelly, earthy, Graves-like minerality, and a gorgeous finish.
...wild, exotic wine. Crushed ripe raspberry, blood orange, spice, mint, cinnamon, sweet French oak and star anise...striking inner perfume and flavor profile that is highly unusual.
...baked blackcurrants, stewed plums and fruitcake scents with hints of espresso, tar and fertile loam. Medium to full-bodied...black-fruited palate has a firm frame of grainy tannins and lovely freshness providing lift on the long, earthy finish.
Juicy and fresh, with a mix of darker plum and blackberry notes that show brighter red currant and violet hints, all melding steadily into the loamy-edged finish, leaving tobacco and bramble echoes in the end.
