Estimate
Layered and lucid, with evocative notes of black currant, plum, tobacco, nori, pencil lead and crushed herbs and spices, it's open and approachable. The mouthfeel is plush and concentrated but also linear and elegant.
...lush and abundant, veritably spilling over with cassis, raspberry, licorice and bramble. The tannins, too, show their 2020 roots in the firm swell of texture in the mouth.
Blackcurrant, blackberry and iodine with oyster shell and lead pencil aromas. Medium to full body, with creamy and fine tannins and and a long, consistent finish.
...a highly perfumed, spice-accented bouquet displays kirsch, black currant, vanilla and pipe tobacco qualities and a smoky mineral topnote...energetic on the palate, offering sharply focused dark berry, bitter cherry, floral pastille and spicecake flavors... Quite lively for its depth, with building florality that carries through a long, spicy finish given shape by fine-grained tannins.
