Estimate
It has a strict and quite linear bouquet, timid at first but then it unveils subtle cold stone/limestone scents intertwined with blackberry, raspberry and allspice aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with chalky tannin, plenty of dark cherry and raspberry fruit-tinged with dark chocolate (from the new oak) with a grainy, slightly austere finish.
Intense nose with good freshness. Fruit weight only moderate but great balance. Firm framework. Some refinement. Savoury. Racy. Lots of refined tannin.
