Estimate
The palate is wonderfully stony with bright red fruits that mingle with orange rind, umami and pretty pomegranate seed flavors. The salty accents really make this sing.
...dusty nose, with plums and brambleberries, cured meat and chocolate on offer. Medium-bodied with chalky tannins and juicy red and blue fruit character. Some stony minerality in the end.
...beautiful wine. Aromas of blackberries, violets and garrigue are joined by the slightest touch of pickled daikon...plush tannins provide an excellent backdrop for flavors like blueberries, blackcap raspberries, iodine, saline and freshly pulled espresso shots.
...earthy, meaty nose of spiced red and black fruits, smoked bacon, ground pepper, and assorted earthy, leathery, iron-like nuances. It leans heavily in the meaty, earthy end of the spectrum and is medium to full-bodied, has good balance, and a reductive, backward vibe...
