Estimate
Perfumed notes of violet and wild thyme introduce the penetrating black-cherry and plum flavors of this wine. It's bristling and vibrant, darkened by shades of bramble and garrigue.
Sexy, mineral-accented aromas of fresh black and blue fruits, candied flowers, olive and exotic spices show outstanding clarity and building smokiness. Sweet, silky and energetic on the palate, offering deeply concentrated blackberry, cherry compote and floral pastille flavors that show a suave blend of heft and vibrancy. A smoky mineral nuance drives the impressively long, gently tannic finish, which leaves behind a suave violet pastille note.
Sleek and refined, with a very focused beam of cassis and cherry preserves laced with subtle tea, bay leaf and floral notes. Bright acidity enhances the iron-tinged minerality on the finish.
Plenty of exotic spice and fragrant allure. Bright, red cherries and berries with baking spices and meaty notes. The palate is supple, elegant and packed with sweetly spiced fruit flavors. Fine tannins. Elegant and very approachable.
...tons of black fruits, scorched earth, graphite, and ground pepper, with hints of violets and flowers... Nicely textured, with good acidity and moderate tannins...
Mocha, black olive and plum notes appear on the nose...medium to full-bodied, with a rich, plush feel and a long, velvety finish.
