Estimate
...winsome, red cherry, pomegranate and balsamic-tinged bouquet that is very well defined and actually very Burgundian. The palate is well balanced with fine tannin, very smooth and lithe in the mouth, red cherry and strawberry laced with sea salt and balsamic on the tender finish. What a lovely Pinot Noir.
...fresh and open-textured red, with a light layer of nubby tannins around the transparent red berry, cinnamon and coffee flavors, lingering well.
Potent, oak-spiced red and dark berry scents are complicated by suggestions of licorice and rhubarb. Sappy and focused on the palate, offering bitter cherry and redcurrant flavors... The cherry and spice notes repeat emphatically on the long, expanding finish, which features fine-grained tannins and a suave vanilla quality.
Very luscious and heady. Hedonistic. Macerated rose petals. Soft tannins but enough acidity. Really rather scrumptious.
