Estimate
...lively, vivacious nose with animated red cherry and wild strawberry scents. The palate is medium-bodied with supple, ripe, citrus fresh red and black fruit, leading to a generous finish that is harmonious and tender.
...beautifully expressive and vibrant bouquet of black cherries, sweet cranberries, bitter chocolate, incipient notes of sous bois, gamebird and a smoky topnote. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied, focused and wide open, with a lovely core and soil signature, tangy acids, modest tannins and outstanding length and grip on the complex and bouncy finish.
Deep-pitched blue fruit, floral pastille and spice aromas are enlivened by a mineral flourish. Sappy boysenberry and violet flavors spread out nicely and become sweeter with air. Fleshy and smooth in texture but energetic as well, finishing sappy and long, with no rough edges; gentle tannins lend shape.
Subtle aroma of dark-red fruits and spice. Lovely harmony on the palate...everything is in place. Good depth and length with gentle but definite tannins and mouthwatering finish.
