Estimate
Lots of black plums, dark cherry compote, baking spices, vanilla and resin. Full body and tons of rich dark fruit, but it's so well supported by a stream of fresh acidity and a firm tannin backbone. A long finish.
Solidly built, with a racy iron note that frames the core of red currant, damson plum and cherry fruit nicely, letting light tobacco, pepper and sanguine details flitter through the background.
Attractive scents of brambly berry and red plum set the stage on the nose of this bright, spicy wine. A pleasant herbaceous, stalky note coupled with a peppery lift lend depth and complexity, while final flavors of church incense, cola spice and tilled soil unfold on the finish. The satiny mouthfeel offers plush tannins and an earthy, mineral texture that provides good grip to the close.
...perfumed bouquet of bilberry and mulberry fruit; white pepper and touches of clove...medium-bodied palate offers supple tannin, slight earthiness on the entry and truffle and black pepper toward the lightly spiced finish.
Light, minerally nose. Very racy and lively. Lots of sinew and stony stuff to suck on.
