Estimate
This is supple, complex and exotic, featuring wild berry, blueberry, bilberry and black currant aromas and flavors. As this plays out on the palate, the firm structure appears, along with a mineral streak and oak spice.
An abundance of alluring brown spices; rose petal perfume; vanilla; black pepper pungency; cherry pit piquancy; and black tea smokiness brings haunting complexity to the creamy, caressing palate of this ravishingly long-finishing example of what was possible from its vintage.
...intensely animale and earth-infused red and blue pinot fruit and this is undoubtedly the most complex nose in the group outside of the Chambertin. The supple and strikingly pure big-bodied flavors are really quite fine yet well muscled and this is a rare combination of finesse and power. Moreover, it is also blessed with incredible underlying material and the finish just goes on and on. Indisputably brilliant though again, patience absolutely required.
Knockout nose combines blueberry, blackberry, black cherry and faded rose. Wonderfully juicy and gripping wine with superb detail to its penetrating and rather wild dark fruit and floral flavors. Very long and juicy on the aftertaste...
