Estimate
Displays a very deep colour and a dark plum fruit, with savoury, animal and earthy notes...the palate sports a supple texture and great finesse...marvellous wine...
...excellent, unwinding in the glass with aromas of sweet red berries and plums mingled with woodsmoke, loamy soil and spices. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and enveloping, with lively acids and a long, rose-inflected finish...
...gentle nose, beautifully defined, a mixture of red and blueberry fruit, wilted violet and light undergrowth scents, gaining intensity with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with supple, but firm tannins, fine acidity, quite grippy with firm backbone on the finish with a tang of black pepper on the finish.
A slightly riper nose is composed by notes of rose petal, violet, earth, poached plum and dark berry liqueur-like scents. There is a really lovely sense of underlying tension to the delineated, tautly muscular and intensely mineral-driven flavors...
Raspberries and flowers on the nose; blood orange and citrus in the mouth. Firm structure of refined tannins, and a persistence that runs on.
