Estimate
Scents of smoke, crushed stone, raspberries and olives are joined by hints of leather and clove on the nose... Medium to full-bodied...tannins already velvety in feel on the long finish.
Smoke- and mineral-accented cherry and black raspberry scents are complemented by suggestions of pipe tobacco, violet, smoked meat and cracked pepper. Densely packed and chewy in texture, offering gently sweet, spice-tinged dark berry, cherry compote and floral pastille flavors braced by a spine of juicy acidity. The spicy note returns on an impressively long, penetrating finish that shows fine clarity and assertive tannins.
Such a pretty nose, with a blend of subtle savouriness – grilled meat, gunflint and dark plums. A real savoury gravel note, baked earth and a slight creamy note behind it...chiselled tannins and a layered long finish.
