Estimate
...dusty core of dark red and black fruit tones, then reveals cassis, black raspberry and blackcurrant aromas alongside subtle notes of dusty dried herbs, ground pepper and hints of smoked meat. Medium to full-bodied in the mouth...focused line of minerality through to the mid-palate, with good balance, softer, grainy tannins and structured acidity. It ends with red-fruit jus and mild black pepper tones on the finish.
Crushed blackberry, olive tapenade, peppery herbs, licorice and minerals on the perfumed nose...lovely retention of peppery acidity... Complex, subtle, energetic and light on its feet, finishing savory and very long, with a suave but firm dusting of tannins...
...beautiful perfume of black fruits, smoked earth, ground pepper, game, and crushed violets. Medium-bodied, silky and pure on the palate...shines for its elegance, purity, and complexity.
...notes of cranberry, hay, herb, black pepper, smoked meat and raspberry. A flavorful, dense, red fruit-filled palate follows.
...ripe nose with a subtle floral-tinged note...good balance of freshness and soft powdery tannins. Good, fresh attractive style.
