Estimate
...subtle tsunami of flavors, starting with a delicate stemmy note, compounded by black pepper essence, spiced cherry and plum compote before wafting with aromas of dusty black raspberries with sprinkles of cinnamon and baking spices. Medium-bodied, the wine explodes in a kaleidoscope of red-fruited flavors with a spicy, mineral tension... Flavors of black pepper and raspberry crème brûlée finish in waves of elegance on the long, lingering finish.
Complex, varietally expressive aromas of raspberry, spices, peppery herbs, licorice and olive tapenade. Very concentrated, dense and fine-grained, with its dark berry, floral and herbal flavors energized by a black-peppery high note. This suave wine mounts slowly and expands on the back end, finishing with smooth tannins but also pungent peppery lift.
...aromas bring notes of peat, dried stem and moist soil...elegant, textured smoked meat flavors meanwhile are all about grace and precision...lingering finish follows.
...complex notes of mulberries, blackberries, ground pepper, stems, spring flowers, and hints of chocolate. Medium-bodied and elegant on the palate, with bright acidity and a more streamlined texture...
...slightly lactic and violet with a hint of gravelly graphite. Attractive bright palate with good freshness and soft and rounded tannins, the acidity just stands apart a little here at the top of the mouth.
