Estimate
Like macerated cherry and plum flavors, this muscular red also shows leather, tobacco and a wild, feral character. Smooth and concentrated, with a long finish of sweet fruit and mineral. A more chewy version.
...spicy, pure, elegant and restrained earthy red pinot fruit with animale hints and ample mineral notes...dusty, textured, precise and palate staining big-bodied flavors that are exceptionally tight on the linear but hugely long finish...
Discreet nose hints at crushed blackberry, gibier, espresso, licorice and fresh blood. Wonderfully vibrant and pure in the mouth, with a youthfully wild character to its dark fruit and crushed stone flavors.
...Very very different from New World Pinot...Still very firm underneath. Majestic follow through. Grows towards the end.
