Estimate
Mouthfilling mocha, blackberry confiture, fig paste and licorice flavors, along with loamy tannins and lots of bittersweet cocoa and coffee on the finish. Despite its heft, it is polished and driven...
Crushed rocks, spring flowers, black cherries, raspberries, and cassis all make an appearance...impeccably well-made effort possesses the most minerality, and is a distinctive expression of Chateauneuf du Pape.
Powerful boysenberry and blackberry aromas and a musky underbrush tone give this a somewhat porty impression. But this is remarkably fresh, with vibrant red fruit and candied plum flavors, superb balance and fine, dusty tannins.
...seductive red and dark berry preserves, along with sexy incense and fresh floral qualities.
