Estimate
...ripe, sexy black cherry and redcurrant fruits as well as licorice, scorched earth, cedar pencil, and graphite aromas and flavors. Rich, exuberant, and straight up sexy on the palate, it's full-bodied, has a deep, layered mid-palate, building tannins, and a heavenly finish.
...aromas of inky berry fruit, wild plums and cherries mingled with notions of warm spices, burning embers and creamy new oak. Full-bodied, deep and layered, it's rich and concentrated, with a deep core of fruit, bright acids and fine, powdery tannins.
Blackcurrants and crushed stones with violets and roses. Earthy and black truffle notes, too. Medium to full body with firm, silky tannins that are layered and attractive, in a muscular and toned fashion. Iodine, ink, earth and bark with wet-vine undertones to the fruit at the end.
...fabulous... Soaring aromatics are so alluring. On the palate, though, the 2019 is incredibly reticent... Dark red cherry, rose petal, incense, iron and gravel hint at what is to come.
Suave textures and great richness give an impressively typical wine from this estate. It is ripe, full of black fruits and dense tannins.
Captures the essence of the vintage as well as possible, with a lovely swath of cassis, plum puree and cherry compote flavors that glides along, showing just enough buried spine in the form of alder and iron notes to give this form. Features alluring red tea and savory details that add range on the lengthy finish.
Light nose, but a sweet, slightly oaky start... Tea leaves and lots of dramatic, minerally tannin. Long and a little hot.
