Estimate
...a deeply intriguing wine...persistent and also quite powerful... Time in the glass brings out the Merlot on the mid-palate as well as the wine's inner sweetness.
...classic notes of black cherries, spring flowers, spicy incense, and dried earth. Seamless, elegant, with incredible finesse and purity, it has plenty of ripe tannins, notable structure, no hard edges, and a great finish.
...it gives gorgeous plum preserves, baked blueberries, cherry compote and baking spices scents with touches of sassafras, dusty earth, iron ore and lilacs with a touch of star anise. The palate is medium-bodied, elegant, sophisticated, poised, polished, energetic and plush with bags of pristine, well-defined, perfumed fruit and a very long, layered finish.
