Estimate
...extraordinary bouquet of kirsch liqueur, strawberries, garrigue, crushed flowers, and exotic spices...ripe, sexy, opulent and powerful, yet graceful and elegant, with no hard edges, and brilliant tannins... Don’t miss it!
...shows floral and tea-like complexity and waves of ripe stone fruit, chocolate and licorice but supplements those elements with hints of oak-derived structure. It's full-bodied and creamy textured, rich and concentrated, with a finish that's firm and muscular yet velvety and elegant at the same time. Wow! Tasted twice, with consistent notes.
Highly perfumed black raspberry and cherry preserve scents are accompanied by suggestions of candied licorice, lavender, vanilla and exotic spices. Sappy and broad on the palate, showing seamless texture and offering deeply concentrated bitter cherry, boysenberry, cola and fruitcake flavors... Hangs on with superb tenacity on the spice-tinged finish, which features polished tannins and resonating cherry-vanilla and floral pastille notes.
Anise and black pepper lend spice and fire to gorgeous black cherry and plum flavors...a potent yet plush, generous wine framed by yielding acidity and a subtly earthen finish. Lovely...
