Estimate
The complex aromas begin with hints of clean compost and mushroom, tree bark and blueberries. This full-bodied, creamy-textured wine ends with an intense dusting of spice on the long finish.
...offers much more saddle leather, peppery herbs, and garrigue, with a classic, full-bodied style on the palate. Nicely concentrated, with ripe, polished tannin...
Fresh red and dark berry aromas are complemented by suggestions of white pepper and garrigue. Ripe raspberry, floral pastille and licorice flavors are sharpened by a spine of juicy acidity. Silky and seamless on the clinging finish, which is framed by fine-grained tannins that fade into the sweet fruit.
Ripe, floral nose. Rich and roistering on the palate. Ripe tannins. Substantial wine with quite a bit of herbiness.
