Estimate
...delivers an attractively brambly and very supple, smooth impression...the delicacy and complexity is striking. Aromas of violet flowers, fresh herbs and sliced strawberries lead to a smooth, velvety array of red cherries. Super elegant.
...wonderful perfume of dried violets and lavender with nuances of pink peppercorn and charcuterie over blueberries, black cherries and blackberries plus a vein of granite underneath. The light to medium-bodied palate is packed with layers of blue and black fruits, floral perfume, warm earth and exotic spice with a core of crushed rock minerality...framed by finely grained tannins and juicy acidity, finishing very long, layered and spicy.
...nose is pure and flat out beautiful...blend of cherries, red plums, a touch of raw cocoa, complex soil tones, a touch of mustard seed, woodsmoke and a whisper of cedar in the upper register...medium-full, pure and has a nice touch of sappiness at the core, with fine-grained tannins, tangy acids and outstanding focus and grip on the long, poised and complex finish...light on its feet and yet loaded with personality and intensity of flavor.
