Estimate
Smoky, spicy and robust...picturesque aromas of smoked meats, black peppercorn and wild Provence herbs with a soft, stemmy essence that sways with elements of bacon fat, spiced blackberry reduction and plum compote on the delightfully dusty nose. Medium-bodied and nimble...displays precision and finesse on the mid-palate...amazing persistence in the mouth over the long, evolving finish...
Aromas of menthol, black cherry, redcurrant and fennel seed. Full-bodied with fine tannins. Milk chocolate and cherry mix on the palate. Vanilla bean and cream at the finish. Very good depth.
Sour fermenting fruit. Subdued mocha and sour black cherry, a bit of lavender. Salty and soapy florals and texture on the palate. Medium bitter espresso tannin.
