Estimate
Impeccably structured and elegantly polished and layered, with expressive black raspberry, savory bay leaf and crushed rock accents that build toward refined tannins.
...highly perfumed bouquet evokes fresh dark fruits, cherry pie, violet and exotic spices that are lifted by a smoky mineral overtone. Impressively concentrated yet lively on the palate, offering alluringly sweet, mineral-tinged cherry-cola, black raspberry and spicecake flavors...finishing very long and smoky, with harmonious tannins, outstanding clarity and floral-driven persistence.
...core of dried red and black cherries, rose petals and turned earth. Medium-bodied, the palate gives up much more: luscious black fruits with red fruit hints, lovely floral notions, loamy earth and a strong crushed rock minerality. It’s got a firm frame of silken tannins and juicy acidity, finishing long.
