Estimate
Very attractive dark berries, cloves and dried meat follow through to a medium to full body, firm tannins and a savory finish. Shows pretty, sleek form and complexity.
Giving up a mineral essence and blackberry reduction on the nose...opens with nuances of black spice over dusty blackberries in the glass. Full-bodied, the wine is generous with plenty of mineral tension, baking spices and black pepper focus with bitter black tea and cocoa nibs. It continues to evolve on the palate for more than a minute with a long, drawn-out finish. It’s beautiful stuff.
Brooding, inky scents of cassis, blueberry, dark raspberry, licorice, dark chocolate, tobacco leaf and minerals... Suave, fine-grained and vibrant on entry, then dense but light on its feet in the middle palate, with lovely spicy/herbal lift to the broad, silky dark berry and cocoa powder flavors. Hints at the dusty minerality... Delivers a sophisticated texture and sneaky depth.
