Estimate
It has concentration and ripeness but with elegance and balance. It has a medium-bodied palate, focused and clean flavors and a remarkable finish.
This is an elegant, refined red with outstanding balance and polished tannin structure. Beautiful crushed stones and pencil lead turn to reserved fruit character with some spicy, peppery nuances. Long finish.
...explosive, elemental combination of fresh plum, sour cherry, red currant, herbs and stalk. Both concentrated and light on its feet, it has a freshness that balances the ripeness to create unusually intense flavors, as though each descriptor arrived on the tongue with a letter of introduction.
...cherry and herbaceous aromas...herbal character and delivers ripe red- and black-fruit flavors blended with notes of grass and tobacco.
Light peppery nose, polished tannins and mountain energy and intensity. Lots of build on the finish.
