Estimate
Notes of truffles and sweet spice mingle into rich swathes of blackberry and black-cherry nectar in this fruity, mouthfilling Pinot Noir. It's a plusher, softer expression of the Grands-Echezeaux...maintains a graphite edge and mineral tension on the finish.
Stunning aromas of fading cherry and berry fruit get your attention, with notes of sandalwood, rose, game and autumn woods, while the silky texture corrals the fruit and oak spice flavors. This comes together nicely, leaving a complex aftertaste.
...overtly floral and relatively high-toned aromas of red cherry and currant where added breadth is present in the form of sandalwood and spicy Asian-style tea. The seductively textured and acceptably concentrated if not especially dense medium-bodied flavors possess reasonable power and volume on the lingering and nicely complex finale.
