Estimate
An intensely perfumed bouquet evokes ripe red and blue fruits, Asian spices and a strong incense overtone. Sweet, penetrating and seamless in texture, offering palate-staining raspberry liqueur, cherry cola, lavender pastille and spicecake flavors...impressive heft and borderline opulence, but this wine also has firm structure thanks to a core of juicy acidity, which adds energy to an extremely long, floral-dominated finish.
This opulent pinot noir shows cherries, raspberries, earth and dark chocolate. Medium body, firm and precise tannins and a vibrant, exciting finish.
...expressive notes of mulberries, raspberry preserves and wild strawberries with hints of game, fragrant earth and spice box. Medium to full-bodied and highly structured with fine, firm tannins and great freshness, it finishes long and earthy.
Quite dry in mouthfeel, it has dehydrated mushroom scents and flavors, along with a steely minerality. Although its tart berry fruit is in the background, it shows an overall well-wrought and balanced set of flavors.
