Estimate
Beautifully concentrated yet graceful, this full-flavored wine fills the mouth with gorgeous black fruit and subtle spices. Medium- to full-bodied and moderately tannic, giving a lively texture and a lingering finish. Good depth and richness with superb balance.
...aromas of dark berries, sandalwood, florals, toasty vanilla and dried herbs on the nose...flavors on the palate are baked strawberry, raspberry-rhubarb jam and grapefruit zest, gliding into yellow plum, chicory, dried mushroom, black peppercorn and a dry, supple finish.
...kaleidoscope of strawberry, raspberry and wild cherry and nuances of garrigue, juniper, tea leaves and tobacco...medium-bodied palate is just as generous, flooding the mouth with layer after layer of fragrant fruit, and the spice...has a weightless feel due to its lacy tannins and vibrant acidity, and it boasts a very long, perfumed finish.
...highly expressive in rose, lavender, and dried herb, with a supple mid-palate and impressive length...fruit is citrus-bright with enduring freshness adorned in enduring aromatics of rose petal and anise.
Vibrant mulberry and boysenberry fruit spills forth, carried by finely beaded acidity as this picks up a shading of potpourri through the caressing finish.
