Estimate
Layers of kirsch liqueur, garrigue, licorice, and herbes de Provence just cascade over the palate. This literal bomb of a wine is full-bodied, concentrated, and layered, yet like all truly great wines, it remains pure, balanced and graceful, with no sense of heaviness.
...enthralling aromas of crushed stone, rose petals and ripe raspberries. Full-bodied and concentrated, the texture comes across as something weightless yet between silk and velvet, laced with exotic spices and lingering for minutes on the finish.
This is warm and very alluring, featuring steeped plum, blackberry and fig fruit flavors forming the core, underscored with ganache, roasted alder and smoldering tobacco notes. The alder edge pierces the finish, adding length and drive, while mouthwatering acidity ripples all around.
Heady, spice-accented aromas of ripe red berries, incense and potpourri... Sweet, palate-staining raspberry liqueur, spicecake and floral pastille flavors reveal hints of cola and white pepper. Conveys a suave blend of richness and energy and finishes with outstanding clarity, harmonious tannins and serious red-fruit-driven persistence.
