Estimate
Sweet red cherry dominates the nose. Then a bit darker on the palate, conveying a juicy, crunchy character to the flavors of black cherry, menthol and minerals. Sweet but firm wine with no greenness or hardness. Finishes with ripe tannins and noteworthy persistence.
An ultra-elegant nose offers up notes of essence of both red and dark pinot fruit with lovely background nuances of spice, floral and wet stone. There is a cool and restrained mouth feel to the beautifully well-detailed medium-bodied flavors where the sense of refinement continues onto the impeccably well-balanced and persistent finale.
The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red berries, quite thick and assertive tannins, but sufficient fruit on the structured finish to keep everything nicely balanced.
Fine, polished nose. Racy and lovely cherry charming fruit and really racy and well sculpted. Really fine with masses of fruit. Great stuff. Long and flirtatious. Long.
