Estimate
Winsome notes of violet, fur and spice lend complexity to ripe black cherry and mulberry in this wine...fleshy and round on the palate but briskly balanced...finish extends on piquant hints of garrigue and lusciously ripe, integrated tannins.
Floral and raspberry notes emerge on the nose, while the palate is full-bodied but silky textured, ending on subtle shadings of Provence herbs and licorice.
Terrific notes of peppery garrigue, new leather, and sweet red and black fruits all give way to a silky, seamless, full-bodied Châteauneuf-du-Pape that has no hard edges and a great finish.
Ripe and focused, with a beam of raspberry puree and plum compote that is carried by mouthwatering red licorice and singed apple wood notes...bright blast of tobacco and floral details run through the finish, with fresh acidity pulling the elements along.
Vibrant raspberry and floral scents... Juicy and energetic on the palate, offering open-knit red berry, cherry liqueur and spicecake flavors and a subtle floral nuance. Fine-grained tannins lend gentle grip to a long, smooth finish that leaves sappy red fruit and allspice notes behind.
Ripe and ready on the nose – cherry and raspberry fruit with a touch of marzipan. Fine, firm tannin and a little liquorice complexity on the finish. Smooth and soft. Nicely done.
