Estimate
...stunning nose of crushed black cherries, redcurrants and blackberries with touches of tilled soil, garrigue, black pepper and violets. Full-bodied with a taut frame of velvety tannins and background freshness supporting the generous fruit, it finishes long and layered.
...gorgeous. Pliant, open and seductive, the 2015 hits all the right notes. Tobacco, red cherry, flowers, cedar, licorice, game and worn-in leather add layers of dimension, but it is the wine's balance that impresses most.
...balanced, lovely herbal and earthy wine, bright in red berry, sage and white pepper. It offers a length of oak and leather on the finish.
...medium-bodied, beautifully balanced, elegant Rhône blend offers perfumed notes of herbes de Provence, white and black pepper, and ample sweet currant and blackberry fruit.
