Estimate
This has a wild and perfumed nose of dried thyme, sage, blackberries, cocoa, graphite and white and green peppercorns. Then dried flowers. Full-bodied with firm, tight and precise tannins. Vibrant.
...more of energy and persistence... Clean, bracing mineral notes linger on the sublime finish.
This gorgeous, full-bodied red opens with layers of aromas including camphor, pipe tobacco, oak-driven spice and ripe black-skinned fruit. Boasting structure and finesse, the intense palate delivers ripe black plum, juicy cherry, licorice and menthol framed in ultrarefined tannins and fresh acidity.
Rich and lively – no doubt this is on the warm coast rather than inland and uphill but it does taste Tuscan. There’s a light mintiness, but lots of interest too.
