Estimate
...graceful and detailed...also densely textured, with black cherry, black currant and violet flavors allied to a solid structure. Vibrant and fluid in the end, boasting saturated fruit and a chalky feel on the long finish.
It initially has a bashful bouquet and gradually opens with pure red cherry and crushed strawberry scents, not delicate but perhaps understated and not wishing to make a fuss. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly coarse tannin on the entry, yet these appear more finessed on the second half whereupon it offers a touch of black pepper.
Lovely balance. Just a beauty. Everything in its seductive place. Precise...with masses of terroir-driven fruit... Medium charge of well-managed tannins should see it through... So clever!
