Estimate
Intensely perfumed black currant, boysenberry, candied violet and exotic spice aromas show outstanding clarity and take on a smoky mineral quality as the wine opens up. Stains the palate with concentrated red/blue fruit liqueur, floral pastille and spice-cake flavors that become livelier through the midpalate. Finishes extremely long and smooth, with harmonious tannins and resonating floral and spice notes.
...beautiful bouquet of kirsch liqueur, wildflowers, candied violets, and orange blossom. This carries to a full-bodied red with a rounded, elegant texture, ripe tannins, and a great finish.
...opens with ripe red berry and currant fruit with accents of dust, iron, graphite, dried herbs and flowers. The medium-bodied palate is bright and fresh with loads of juicy uplift and concentrated, spicy berry flavors. It has a ripe, grainy frame and finishes long and nuanced.
