Estimate
Crushed strawberries, currants and blackberries on the nose with spice, vanilla and floral undertones. Full body with firm, polished tannins that really grow on the palate. Silky texture with pleasant acidity, leading to a bright, fruity finish with super length.
...nose of ripe black and blue fruits interwoven with lots of toasty oak, earth, and chocolate. Rich, powerful, and concentrated on the palate yet also balanced and lively, with a good spine of acidity...
Ripe, spicy and with a firm structure to sustain it, this wine is packed with acidity and bright black currant flavor.
Exhibiting aromas of blackberries and blackcurrants mingled with sweet spices and vanilla pod, it's medium to full-bodied, suave and seamless, with terrific concentration, refined tannins and a long, penetrating finish.
High toned and another wine that seems so much riper than most wines from this appellation. Ripe, sweet elderberries. Then pretty punishing dry tannins.
