Estimate
...stunning, singular perfume of sweet red and black fruits, lavender, spiced meats, and a complex, herbes de Provence-like character. This full-bodied beauty builds incrementally on the palate, has loads of concentrated fruit, ripe tannin, and a huge, seamless finish.
...incredibly complex nose giving up layers of Indian spices, fertile soil, chocolate-covered cherries, preserved plums, unsmoked tobacco, lavender and charcuterie with wafts of Provence herbs and garrigue. Medium to full-bodied, it's rich and seductive on the palate, with a solid backbone of grainy tannins and great freshness supporting the great depth of flavors, finishing on a lingering mineral note.
Sanguine in black olive, garrigue and dried herb, this balanced, intriguingly earthy and floral wine offers additional savory flavors of black tar, sage and leather. The fruit is nuanced and equally dark and brooding: a mix of blackberry and black cherry that pique the lengthy, textured palate.
...dense, powerful and unctuous...rush of red cherry jam, tobacco, game, iron and smoke builds into the dense, concentrated finish.
This is really complex and delivers a layer of fresh, charcuterie-like, spiced meat aromas with white pepper and dark plums. The palate has a very plush and ripe feel with a deep thread of spice-wrapped plums that holds very long. Fine, deep tannins, too.
