Estimate
...a killer effort that possesses uncommon purity and finesse paired with serious depth and richness. Giving up notes of pure black currants, blueberries, graphite, violets and hints of peppery meats, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a layered, seamless texture, integrated acidity and fine tannin.
A dense yet fresh syrah with lots of graphite and dark-fruit character. Some bark and black-tea character to boot. Full-bodied, layered and rich yet always crisp and focused. A beauty.
Vibrant aromas of cassis, blueberry, cocoa powder and licorice are lifted by an ethereal white fruit note... Tightly wound but smooth and fine-grained, with a liquid rock backbone from the basalt soil... Finishes with serious, ripe tannins, a complementary oak element and an impression of firm acid spine. A lovely expression of Red Mountain.
