Estimate
Elegance and grace cements its pedigree thanks to a delicate embroidery of forest berry and blue flower...packs power and determination on the close with tight tannins and mounting flavor momentum.
Highly complex nose offers pungent blackberry, red cherry, mocha, rose petal and violet aromas. Suave and silky on entry, then fine-grained, concentrated and fruit-driven, with very good mineral lift to the bright, sweet red cherry and berry flavors. Offers compelling density and sweetness, and finishes with highly polished tannins.
...graceful, dense and well-meshed...offering an aromatic herbal note that wafts through the array of black cherry, plum skin, leather, dried porcini and spice box notes. Supple tannins frame the finish.
Very intense...smell of salted fish – anchovies! – something I have never sensed in a wine before. Light to medium weight with real structure and intensity... Great peacock's tale on the finish.
