Estimate
...deep blackcurrant and raspberry bouquet: reserved but delineated. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, a pleasant powdery texture, a lively acidic thread and fine backbone on the finish that has a pleasant savory touch. Very fine and full of character.
This is notably riper though the nose remains cool and restrained with lovely notes of black pinot fruit, violet and plum scents. There is good volume to the rich, round and suave medium-bodied flavors that are supported by slightly riper tannins on the refined, pure and lengthy finish.
Dense and powdery. Smudgy and slightly bitter on the end. Pure and uncompromising.
