Estimate
This has an attractive Nebbiolo nose of rose, violet, perfumed red berry, baking spices and a whiff of pressed powder. The structured palate delivers red cherry, raspberry, grilled herbs, white pepper, anise and a balsamic note alongside firm, fine-grained tannins and brisk acidity. A hint of mint backs up the finish.
This is elegant, with a slight chewiness underscoring the rose, cherry, licorice and tobacco notes. Firms up, with dusty tannins and tar accents lining the finish.
Hints of gingerbread on the nose. Supple palate that is more spicy rather than showing proper fruit and with firm tannins on the finish.
