Estimate
Raspberry liqueur, smoke and licorice on the nose, lifted by menthol and violet high notes. Juicy and quite backward...terrific energy...utterly seamless raspberry and violet flavors...boasts terrific volume without weight, finishing with noble tannins that spread out horizontally to saturate the palate. Mounts slowly and lingers long on the vibrant, firm-edged back end.
...delicate, refined bouquet with wild strawberry and raspberry scents that unfold beautifully in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with lovely, mineral-rich wild strawberry and pomegranate notes on the nose...very well balanced with good weight in the mouth and a seductive elegant finish with breeding and class.
...broad array of Asian-style spice elements adds excellent breadth to the red currant, dark pinot and pungent warm earth scents...excellent richness and phenolic maturity to the big and bold flavors that possess impressive mid-palate concentration as well as controlled power on the palate staining and seriously long finish.
Sumptuous rich taffeta nose with both fruit and savoury interest. Sweet start and very voluptuous. Hint of capuccino. Creamy texture and sweetness on the front palate... Lots of energy on the finish. Very long.
