Estimate
Subtle, lightly medicinal aromas of redcurrant, dark cherry, iron, tobacco and herbs. Plush, savory wine with terrific calcaire energy and lift to its darker berry and spice flavors. Delivers a rare combination of density and definition, no doubt due to the small crop and old vines here. Finishes firmly tannic and very long, with impressive sappiness for the vintage.
...aromas of plums, wild berries, rich spice, orange rind and subtle game bird. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, ample and deep, with a cool core of fruit, sappy acids and an abundance of fine-grained tannic structure.
