Estimate
...very intense and powerful, but at the same time, there is a kind of lightness on the palate that makes if feel light on its feet but with great inner power. There is citrus acidity that makes it effervescent and electric...peppery character appears after some time, giving it a Chinon-like twist... Bravo!
...fabulous wine with blackberry, dark mushroom, blueberry and white pepper character. Full body, fine tannins and fantastic depth and length. Goes on for minutes. A magnificent red.
Robust aromas of balsamic black fruits and licorice ease into a round lush tannic palate. Lightly herbal flavors of blackberry, cassis, pepper and baking spices end with spicy chocolaty oak and licorice flavors.
Vibrant, complex nose combines red fruits, graphite minerality, tea leaf and mocha. Densely packed and sweet, with well-integrated acidity giving the intense red and dark berry flavors an exhilarating tangy quality...wonderful balance of sweet, savory and acid components. Finishes with a serious tannic wine, superb rising length and no hard edges.
