Estimate
Very sexy, ripe, soil-driven aromas of plum and redcurrant. Plush and sweet on the palate, with its fully ripe red fruit flavors complicated by spices, dried flowers and underbrush. This very full wine conveys an impression of sucrosité but finishes with lovely saline mineral energy, firm tannins and noteworthy stony grip, not to mention terrific length.
Rich sappy fruit, subtle hints of new oak and a good deal of bright, sweet, blackberry jam flavors and plenty of extract...very fine.
