Estimate
The aromas are seductive, exuding raspberry, red currant, cherry and spice notes.
...extremely rich, full and sweet flavors that are quite floral in the mouth, all wrapped in a detailed and punchy finish where the tannic spine is completely buried.
...coming onto the palate with a gentle wave of creamy fruit, almost shockingly open-knit and youthfully generous. Despite ample (refined) tannins, there is nothing to restrain a veritable gushing of ripe, juicy, sweet finishing fruit.
...hinting at dark cherry, chocolate and mocha. Then ripe, sweet and voluptuous in the mouth, with a thick texture leavened by harmonious acidity and lifted by sexy spices and flowers.
Hint of cheesiness on the nose. Then the fruit kicked up and curled over the cheesiness with a lick like a satisfied cat...Very solid aromatically - lots of flavour buried in there – but then surprising delicacy on the palate.
