Estimate
Exceptionally complex, spicy and ripe, this delivers profoundly concentrated and pure black cherries with plenty of sweet spice and an ethereal, undergrowth edge. Smoothly rendered and delivered in a very deep-set, black-cherry palate... Superb.
...incredible bouquet of lavender potpourri and ripe black cherries. It's full-bodied and rich without seeming heavy at all, the ripeness balanced by fresh notes of herbs and soft tannins.
Subtle, with details of talcum powder, white pepper and dried lavender up front, leading to pomegranate and wild strawberry flavors. A hint of sandalwood lingers on the finish, where the fine-grained tannins take on a gentle grip.
...very well-defined, quite mineral-driven red and black fruit...palate is well balanced with a fine line of acidity, touches of tobacco and undergrowth, a hint of truffle infusing the red berry fruit and a hint of black pepper that enlivens and enhances the finish. Excellent.
