Estimate
...focused, firm and well structured, with a classy nose of blackberries, cherry stones, white truffles, tea leaves and cloves. Earth and bark, too. Medium-to full-bodied... Racy and linear. Mineral.
...opens with hauntingly dark florals and balsamic tones, as swirling brings about hints of black currant and crushed stone...supremely soft-textured, yet lifted by cooling minerality and bright acidity that guides its crunchy wild berry fruits across the palate. It tapers off with amazing length and potency, drenching the senses with primary concentration, as a framework of fine tannins gently tug at the cheeks.
...spicy and very savory...bouquet introduces a lot of exotic elements...cumin, clove and cardamom. These spicy notes frame a core of black fruit...medium to full-bodied...with a big sense of inner power...
A deeply savory nose opens with aromas of grilled meat and iron-rich soil before revealing balsamic vinegar and graphite and then cranberries and hibiscus. The fruit becomes fuller and lusher on the palate, pushing up against chalky tannins...
Exotic, lifted raspberry and cassis nose and a hint of passion fruit...nose description might sound completely bizarre, but it is hugely attractive. Succulent and ripe...with real fruit focus on the palate. Tons of dry, but not rough, tannins and fantastic depth and balance. Super-compelling...
