Estimate
...superb. A rich, explosive wine, the 2019 possesses stunning richness from start to finish.
Loam and cedar-mulch notes appear on the nose, but as accidents to cherries and redcurrants, with just hints of cassis. Full-bodied and marked by silky-velvety richness, the wine finishes with impressive plushness and length.
...pure currant and cassis fruits as well as crushed stone, lead pencil, and damp earth...medium to full-bodied, has good acidity, ripe tannins, and beautiful balance.
A fragrant nose of blackberries, dark cherries, mushrooms, mocha and baking spices. Full body with fine tannins. Rich and creamy with plenty of chocolate and fruity character. Flavorful, spicy finish with excellent length.
Juicy and direct, with red cherry and red currant paste notes wrapped around hints of warm earth, red licorice and tobacco. Shows light-handed toast, allowing the fruit and earth elements to hold center stage through the finish.
