Estimate
...solid and structured red with blackcurrant, herb, tobacco and mussel-shell character. Some moss, too. Full-bodied and chewy, yet the solid tannins are very fine-textured and give a long, chewy finish...always poised and polished.
...very complete wine...the grapes ripened thoroughly, developing more flavors and nuances while keeping the freshness...there are no edges, but what's remarkable is the balance and stuffing...a wine that has fruit and intensity and is balanced... The spicy and peppery character comes through with some time in the glass.
The nose delivers crystal-clear layers of black currant and raspberry, plus hints of basil, black tea and spices. Intense but gentle on the palate, with a creamy, refreshing mouthfeel. The tannins are pleasant and refined, resulting in a balanced but powerful expression, enlivened by the rich alcohol. Complex and long-lasting, this is sheer energy in a glass.
Elegant and rich-tasting, offering roasted berry and cherry compote flavors that show plenty of dried herbal accents. The finish offers firm tannins, with a savory edge and hints of mocha java.
Intriguing nose – dried herbs, a little ripe fruit, quite savoury and gamey. The palate is full of glycerol, with soft tannins just propping up the fruit. The acidity provides equal structure, taming the smudgy ripe fruit. Earthy and spicy on the finish...
