Estimate
...powerful, ripe and dense with considerable tannic structure.
...offers up a lovely, complex bouquet...classy blend of cherries, red plums, a fine base of granitic soil tones, a touch of fresh herbs, orange peel, dried rose petals and a nice topnote of spices. On the palate the wine is pure, fullish and soil-driven, with a fine core of red fruit, lovely focus and grip, a touch of backend tannin and a long, complex and tangy finish.
Bright and energetic on the nose and the palate, displaying intense red fruit and floral pastille qualities and a hint of smoky minerality. Sappy and precise, picking up hints of licorice and succulent herbs as the wine opens up. Dusty tannins build slowly on a very long, penetrating finish that emphatically echoes the mineral note.
Floral and peach aromas line the ripe strawberry and cherry flavors in this concentrated, harmonious red. Backed by plenty of spice and juicy acidity, this eases into a lingering, spice- and mineral-infused finish.
