Estimate
A firmly structured, tensile version, boasting a core of cherry and raspberry flavors, with leafy, vegetal accents. Shows a fine balance overall, with saturated flavors and a lingering aftertaste.
Rose petal, cinnamon, dried herbs and red cherries caress the palate. The 2012 is soft, silky and gracious throughout.
...hints of dried violets informing the lively dark cherry fruit. The palate is silky smooth with a fine thread of acidity. It is well balanced, nicely focused with a tense sorbet-fresh finish with hints of cassis and orange rind.
