Estimate
Sleek, open and expressive, this red reveals black cherry and blackberry fruit framed by accents of earth and spices. Ends with chalky tannins.
...reveals aromas of orange rind, raspberries, cherries and spices. Medium to full-bodied, rich and concentrated, with lively acids and powdery tannin, it possesses plenty of potential.
A cool, airy and restrained nose grudgingly reveals its array of citrus, green apple and mineral reduction scents. There is very good mid-palate density and an abundance of minerality that adds a sense of lift to the precise, moderately austere and bone-dry finale.
Dark-fruited and stony. Firm, chewy, dry-textured in a rather elegant style. More subdued than some yet with lovely finesse. Dry, textured finish.
