Estimate
There is great transparency here, a slightly lighter style of Amoureuses with red cherries, strawberry and minerals. The palate is medium-bodied with very lithe tannin that belie the structure underneath.
Lovely perfumed lift to the aromas and flavors of raspberry, minerals, spices and flowers. Quite tight and wound up today, with its strong mineral spine dominating the middle palate. Finishes with outstanding cut and lift and a pronounced element of salty minerality.
An expressive nose features notes of high-toned red berries, violet, lavender, sandalwood and a hint of Asian style tea. The supple, lacy and copiously mineral-inflected middle weight flavors possess a wonderfully refined mouth feel...
