Estimate
There's impressive density evident on the nose of this bottling, starting with charcoal, roasted meat and beach tar, as well as savory tones of green olive and black pepper. Charred berry flavors come through on the sip, as do iodine, smoked meat, dried herbs, pepper and a hint of caramel.
...nose of black raspberries, red plums, cracked peppercorns, and bouquet garni. Beautifully textured, medium to full-bodied, with ripe tannins and integrated acidity, I love its overall balance as well as its complexity.
It offers a striking power and intensity with finesse. Red/purplish fruit, spice and blood orange infuse the 2018 with layers of nuance that continue to open in the glass.
