Estimate
Rich and round, laced with cherry, raspberry, rose, earth and tobacco flavors. This is backed by a stiff spine of tannins, yet feels well-proportioned and tightly knit. The lasting impression is ripe fruit on the finish.
...pliant, layered and super-expressive... Dark cherry fruit, plum, lavender and spice add gravitas...all the elements are nicely balanced.
Concentrated, beguiling and deep with a cool-climate edge and a hint of stony soil. Very fine on the palate yet not lacking in concentration. The same amazing elegance on the palate with energetic raspberry fruit and fine, exceptionally long-lasting, fantastic polished yet gripping tannins aligning with the jewel-like fruit.
