Estimate
Explosively perfumed scents of raspberry liqueur, cherry-cola, Asian spices and rose oil, with subtle vanilla and mocha notes in the background. Stains the palate with intense red berry, cherry compote and floral pastille flavors that gain sweetness and depth with air. Smoothly plays richness off of vivacity and finishes with superb clarity and length and plush, fully integrated tannins.
Framed beautifully with scents and flavors of toasted hazelnut (the property was orginally a walnut, hazelnut and plum orchard), this builds its substantial core around deep black cherry fruit.
...vivacious black cherry and blackcurrant fruit...palate is very well balanced, lithe and harmonious in the mouth, very pure and gradually building in intensity with a caressing, very elegant finish...
