Estimate
...nose is deep and nuanced, with red and black fruits accented by notes of white pepper, exotic spice, tea leaves and blood orange...impressive depth of fruit on the palate, which is medium-bodied, finely grained and juicy, and it finishes with tremendous spice.
...highly perfumed bouquet evokes ripe red/blue fruits, incense and potpourri, and a spicy top-note builds as the wine opens up. Alluringly sweet and deeply concentrated, offering intense boysenberry, cherry, lavender pastille and spice-cake flavors that become livelier as the wine stretches out. Displays fine delineation and bold, spicy thrust on an impressively long, sweet finish framed by supple, slow-building tannins.
Deep aromas of cassis, violet and French toast spices are rich and inviting on the nose... Soft, polished tannins make for a suave and silky sip, where dark berry and cardamom flavors converge.
A quietly dynamic red that shelters a vibrant and structured core beneath expressive notes of blackberry, crushed stone and blood orange.
