Estimate
...forest-floor scents are complemented by marine influences, seaweed and brine even...medium-bodied with crisp tannins on the entry...quite chalky in texture and then towards the finish there is a sweet iodine and black-olive-compote tincture...
Deeper on the nose...offering, with a cherry liqueur aroma lifted by flowers and pungent minerality. Sweeter and broader on the palate, with good framing energy to the red and black cherry fruit. The lightly saline finish features dusty tannins and lingering notes of spices and oaky torrefaction.
A ripe, airy and attractively layered nose features a broad ranging array of scents that include dark berry liqueur, floral elements, spice nuances and plenty of pungent earth aromas...excellent density to the extract-rich medium weight plus flavors that retain a fine sense of underlying tension before culminating in a balanced and penetrating finish...offers an interesting contrast between the muscle of the mid-palate and the finesse of the backend.
