Estimate
The exotic perfume is followed by a wine with phenomenal intensity, sweet, well-integrated tannin, huge body, and loads of concentrated fruit. It is another tour de force in winemaking.
Perfection in a glass. On the palate, it delivers an abundance of classy, ripe, rich fruit married to toasted oak, floral notes, wet earth, humus and truffle notes. Full-bodied, seductive, smooth and balanced. 400 cases made.
Nose boasts great aromatic lift and urgency, with the classic griotte cherry of La Turque plus bitter chocolate and licorice.
...Very sweet and intense on the nose. Heady, obviously oaky, but like an exotic, irresistible tincture. Round and worked...
