Estimate
...a fabulous, incredibly complete wine that soars out of the glass with explosive structure and vertical lift...tannins are very much present, but also matched beautifully by the wine's aromatic intensity and overall drive. Dark macerated cherry, spice, leather, licorice, plum and mocha add darker shades of nuance...all the elements are impeccably balanced...magnificent!
...notes of bright cherry fruits, rose petals, road tar, violets and even a hint of orange blossom. Incredible on the palate, with medium to full body, an incredible, seamless texture, ultra-fine tannins, and a monster finish. The tannins here are unquestionably on another level and are perfectly ripe...has a Grand Cru Red Burgundy-like texture, elegance, and stature.
...open, more concentrated and structured...pretty floral notes of rose hip or wild rose in this generous wine of broad scope...with plums, cassis, blackberry and plenty of power. Everything came to perfect maturity...
Extremely perfumed aromas of dried flowers, dried strawberries and pumice, as well as tar, following through to a full body, with chewy and polished tannins and a long, juicy finish. Quite broad tannins.
Supple and concentrated, delivering cherry, strawberry, iron, tobacco and loamy earth flavors. Gets silkier and more graceful, playing out on the long finish. Shows excellent harmony and complexity.
Red berry, exotic spice and a whiff of camphor form the enticing nose. Firmly structured but loaded with finesse, the linear palate delivers crunchy red cherry, pomegranate, star anise and white pepper...noble tannins...impeccably balanced, with vibrant acidity.
Great focus and purity on the nose. Gorgeous, perfumed raspberry with minerally, savoury nose in the background. Gorgeous balance of concentrated red fruit...super-fine layer of long tannins. Contained yet lots of depth. Elegant...perfumed fruit finish.
