Estimate
...spicy character to the nose of this robust red, with notes of clove and whole peppercorn riding atop the crunchy cranberry, rhubarb and currant fruit profile...medium-length finish offers plenty of tannic grip and fruit-skin flavors.
...strawberry and cherries mingle with cranberry and soft earth tones...palate is bright...tart red fruit expression driving through to the finish showing bright acidity...finish lingers with hints of dusty minerality and soft rose petal on the medium to long finish.
A modern, well-crafted version, showing good harmony overall and a seductive palate, exhibiting dark cherry flavors and hints of clove and vanilla, while mineral and floral accents take the back seat. Solid finish.
...perfumed, quite floral nose of brambly red fruit infused with pressed rose petals...palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins that frame the mulberry and crushed strawberry fruit, and tertiary notes plus a touch of white pepper toward the gentle finish.
