Estimate
Very aromatic, but subtle on the nose with crushed stones, roses, walnuts and cranberries. The medium to full body and very grainy tannins seem to be made for the beautiful, sweet-and-sour character that pervades the palate. The finish is drying, but in an amazingly soft and gentle way. So refined and restrained, yet deep and complex.
...graceful, medium-bodied version, with silky tannins and a pleasing juiciness to the array of plumped cherry, stemmy herb and tangy mineral flavors, accented by fragrant graphite, sandalwood and ground pink pepper notes. Finely knit and focused, with the tannins firming up on the long, spicy finish.
Pungent flinty and floral nuances to the red cherry and raspberry jam aromas on the inviting nose. Enters rich, dense and almost sweet, with very precise sweet spice and red fruit flavors lingering nicely. An underlying green note remains in the background and adds complexity. Finishes with noteworthy but balanced tannic bite and plenty of freshness on the long juicy finish...very complex wine with a beautiful nose...
