Estimate
Fragrant nose of black raspberries and summer flowers with a delicate hint of oak. Suave and sophisticated...light on its feet, like a tiny dancer, but held aloft by a very solid support of fine tannins.
The bouquet is quite classy, delivering scents of cherries, red plums, duck, a nice base of soil tones, mustard seed, Vosne spices, a touch of sweet stem tones and cedar. On the palate the wine is bright, focused and full-bodied, with good soil transparency, a solid core, tangy acids, buried tannins and a long, complex and well-balanced finish.
...pretty, floral bouquet, wilted rose petals infusing the open-knit red cherry and crushed strawberry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and a fine bead of acidity, and cohesive toward the disarmingly smooth finish.
...exhibits aromas of cassis, sweet berry fruit, exotic spices and loamy soil, followed by a medium to full-bodied, velvety and charming palate that's bright, precise and penetrating.
