Estimate
...spice cake, fragrant earth and fallen leaves-scented nose over the core of plum pudding, blackberry tart and black cherry compote, plus touches of anise and coffee... ...full-bodied palate is packed with spicy, savory and earthy layers..
...with incredible purity, it offers full-bodied aromas and flavors of blackberries, blood/iron, peppery herbs and cigar ash... ...serious richness and depth on the palate... ...the Viognier adds another level of texture and richness.
...Plush and exuberant, yet also impeccably balanced and nuanced for such a big wine, the 2015 is showing beautifully today. Plum, black cherry, lavender and rose petal overtones are laced together in this highly promising wine... (9/2017)
