Estimate
...rich, full-bodied, dense, and almost backward style to go with powerful black fruits, ground pepper, and violet aromas and flavors...showing more mid-palate depth as well as ripe tannins.
Heady, finely detailed aromas of mineral-tinged red/blue fruit preserves, incense and garrigue are complemented by a suave floral topnote. Alluringly sweet and seamless on the palate, offering impressively concentrated raspberry, boysenberry, spicecake and candied licorice flavors braced by a core of juicy acidity. Finishes with outstanding clarity, polished tannins and floral-driven persistence, leaving an exotic hint of five-spice powder behind.
...mixes black cherries and red raspberries on a seductive nose, but it's a full-bodied, muscular wine, with ample richness, a velvety mouthfeel and perhaps a touch of warmth on the lingering finish.
Very expressive, with lots of kirsch and raspberry pâte de fruit flavors wrapped in red licorice. Features a friendly fruitcake echo through the open, silky finish, where a subtle chalky minerality lingers prettily. Grenache and Syrah. Best from 2023 through 2036. 900 cases made, 150 cases imported.
Fleshy nose and ripe fruit – sweet fruit... Clean and pure.
