Estimate
...sleek and exquisite wine. Lifted orange peel defines the nose, which also offers wild strawberries, nutmeg, lightly roasted coffee, glazed cherries and dried herbs. Finely tuned and only medium-to full-bodied on the palate, the tannins taking on a graceful, medium-chewy persona. Suave and delicate, yet long and powerful on the finish.
...upfront and precise level of intensity that is backed by slightly more structured tannin. Its core is packed tight with wild berry, cassis and pretty herbal notes...begins to show delicate layers of spice, smoke and tar.
Intense aromas of graphite, juniper, pine and olive mark this red. Ripe cherry and raspberry flavors emerge, along with mineral and tobacco notes. Taut and concentrated, yet sleek and focused... Exhibits fine complexity and length.
Floral and perfumed, and with a wave of bright cherries and strawberries...elegant, polished display with masses of ripe red berries finding wonderful contrasts through a wave of zesty acids and building spiciness toward the close...structured with fine-grained tannins...stunning expression of Sangiovese.
Underbrush, plum, tobacco and violet shape the nose, along with a whiff of eucalyptus oil. Full in weight yet refined, the enveloping palate doles out juicy black cherry, orange zest, vanilla and licorice alongside densely woven, fine-grained tannins.
Earthy, minerally notes on the nose while the fruit is a little subdued. Slow to unfold, and with gorgeous, coating tannins and sappy, concentrated fruit. Elegant palate weight.
