Estimate
...offers a detailed and composed bouquet with precise red cherry, cranberry and pomegranate fruit, an underlying mineralité that surfaces with aeration...medium-bodied with fine delineation, precise and poised with a harmonious and pure finish that is a pure delight.
Highly nuanced nose offers aromas of cherry, sandalwood, minerals, blood orange and flowers... At once silky and sappy, with tangy red fruit and licorice flavors framed and extended by underlying minerality. Sweet, generous and long on the ripely tannic finish.
There's a dense grain to the tannins...along with cherry, currant and spice flavors...fruit and spice notes echoing.
There is a lush and distinctly spicy character to the solidly dense medium-bodied flavors that are shaped by phenolically mature tannins...displays fine depth and very good length. Solid quality here.
Beautifully sweet fruit – loads of juiciness, backed up with sweetly spiced oak. Soft, supple tannins.
