Estimate
A very vibrant nose with rich dark fruit, delivered in a complex mode with red to dark cherries, as well as an array of amaro-like mountain herbs and preserved citrus. There’s a very fluid feel to the palate that offers a wealth of fresh and attractive cherries with a gently tangy kick at the elegant, spicy finish.
Tightly wound fruit flavors strike a sharp raspberry note, with a zesty highlight of orange peel emphasizing the bright acidity. The concentration and length are admirable...
...nose of gravel dust, black tea leaves, mushroom, tree bark, bay leaf, cinnamon stick and clove with fragrant earth, dried roses and potpourri. Medium-bodied, it offers amaro-laced fruits and spices in the mouth with a firm, grainy frame and long, bitters-laced finish.
Precise and dynamic, with cherry and strawberry flavors accented by orange zest, clove and savory spice notes, finishing with fine tannins.
Expansive, spice-accented red/dark berry scents pick up hints of succulent herbs and smoky minerals with air. Juicy, focused and appealingly sweet on the palate, offering juicy raspberry and cherry-cola flavors... Closes very long and smooth, with emphatic red fruit character and rounded tannins that add framework and grip.
Ripe aromas of spicy poached plum, dark raspberry and briar introduce velvet-textured medium weight flavors that possess a sleek mid-palate that contrasts somewhat with the moderately robust, firm and noticeably warm finish.
