Estimate
The palate has an entirely different texture to the other reds, it is all silk, tannins are polished to a bright, lustrous texture, slippery, even, deceptively powerful, plush, pure and long.
...displays a gorgeous nose of commendable purity and intensity with notes of red and blackcurrants, freshly crushed blackberries, menthol, cinnamon stick, bacon fat and cloves.
Sweet and expansive on the palate, offering intense cherry-vanilla, floral pastille and succulent herbs flavors and a deft combination of richness and vivacity.
Oozing with black licorice, cherry and mineral flavors, this features taut tannins, with juicy acidity. Shows plenty of focus and follow-through on the finish.
Very intense nose. Mellow start and then quite bloody and savoury on the palate.
