Estimate
...cherry, currant, spice and leafy flavors...well-integrated tannins and spice notes dominating the finish.
...aromas of red berries, rose petal and medicinal menthol...savory, firm-edged flavors of cranberry, minerals and white pepper giving the middle palate an incisive character...finishes perfumed, focused and long, with pepper and saline mineral notes...
...nose is generous and perfumed with macerated black cherries, wild strawberry and light iodine notes, the new oak nicely integrated...palate is medium-bodied with a crisp, orange zest-tinged entry.
...spicy and fresh red and dark berry fruit that carries ample Gevrey-style earth and underbrush influences. There is good size, weight and volume to the admirably intense broad-shouldered flavors that evidence a light minerality on the impressively long but not really austere finish.
Vaguely fizzy with some beguiling and complex, even compelling, fruit flavours. This is convincing. Love the savour on the end.
