Estimate
Impressive for the deep yet polished structure and distinctive crushed rock accents that highlight the richly layered black raspberry, licorice and smoky cracked pepper flavors.
...complex bouquet of black raspberries, smoked game, spring flowers, and hints of violets. Beautifully textured, medium to full-bodied, and ethereal on the palate, it shines for its complexity and nuances just as much as its richness and length.
Beginning with an open and accessible nose...rich and round with no hard edges. Elements of black pepper, black raspberry and blackberry reduction fill the glass along with hints of dusty lavender petals. Medium to full-bodied, the wine is expressive with an open-knit core of ripe fruit, balanced structure and lifting tannins. Concluding with a rich and complex finish, flavors of black raspberry, black tea and peppercorn linger on the palate. Delicious.
Rich nose – lots of dark fruit and spice and a currant note. Full and ripe with notes of smoke and rubber. Full ripe style, but has a streak of acidity to revive it.
