Estimate
More cassis, cedary spice, and dried flower notes emerge...medium to full-bodied, beautifully complex, and layered, with more upfront charm and approachability...terrific...
...rich, classic core full of black fruit, with a soft dustiness and a clear line of minerality through the center. The palate remains mineral-driven with subtle notes of savory spice giving way to structuring tannins. The sweet oak tones align with dusty blackberries and soft purple florals on the palate...long and complex finish with hints of graphite... It's a beautiful wine.
... Claret-like aromas of dark raspberry, redcurrant and licorice. Penetrating and tightly wound, showing lovely violet lift to the flavors of red and black fruits and licorice... Finishes with firm, building, oak-influenced tannins.
