Estimate
...smells of fresh blackberry and dark cherry mingled with licorice and laced with crushed stone, carbon, and black pepper... Fine-grained tannins are accentuated by crushed stone and fruit pit...gripping finish...
This displays tight, well-defined aromas and flavors of seductive Pinot Noir: cherry, wild berry and a subtle gamy, woodsy accent. Powered by a firm structure and though firm and curt on the finish, this shows balance and fine length.
...expressive nose of red and blue pinot fruit, plum, underbrush and plenty of pungent Gevrey-style damp earth nuances that continue onto the supple, round, pure and seductive flavors that are supported by a tannic structure that is quite fine and outstanding length.
...nose hints at licorice pastille, iron and smoky minerality, with a floral topnote. Very sweet on entry, then a real fruit bomb in the middle palate, with blueberry and blackberry flavors complicated by flowers and spices. Offers a captivating combination of density, definition and lift and finishes spicy and long, with very suave tannins.
