Estimate
...classic Renardes in its power and muscle, yet all the elements fall into place gracefully. Smoke, iron, chalk and a host of mineral-infused notes support the finish. I find the balance of fruit and structure here absolutely compelling.
There is excellent mid-palate concentration to the broad-shouldered, intense and overtly powerful flavors that terminate in a robust, energetic and admirably complex finish that goes on and on.
It is very well-defined. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins and a citric, verging on sorbet-like freshness...a more feminine style of Corton-Renards, though perhaps there is a touch of attenuation on the finish. Very fine.
Wild aromas of red fruits, bacon, leather and fresh blood. Juicy...Very fresh and backward wine with an imploded rocky character.
