Estimate
...very pure nose with dark berries, touches of truffle oil and walnut complementing the fruit, very detailed with wilted rose petal scents... The palate is medium-bodied with sappy redcurrant and raspberry, the tannins a little "crunchy" in the mouth. It veers to more loganberry and huckleberry fruit towards the finish, laced with white pepper and sage, the aftertaste sustained for 30-45 seconds.
Intense cherry, black raspberry and violet scents take on smoky mineral and licorice overtones as the wine opens up. Juicy and focused on the palate, offering sappy red and blue fruit flavors that slowly deepen and spread out on the back half. Shows excellent focus and a suave floral echo on the impressively long finish, which is energized by zesty acidity and a repeating red berry flourish.
Broad and expressive, open-textured and distinctive for a green olive accent to the blackberry and cherry flavors, finishing with harmony and persistence.
