Estimate
High-toned red berry fruit sets the pace for this tensile red, as sweet spice and a chalky undertone add depth. Turns firm and taut on the finish, merely hinting at the potential.
Aromas of raspberry liqueur, pomegranate, wild herbs, spices and game. Dense and seamless but also salty and penetrating, communicating a distinctly wild aspect to its flavors of cranberry, dark cherry, minerals and game.
The palate is very refined with rounded tannin, well judged acidity and good density. This is backward, almost surly towards the finish, but there is also an attractive spicy edge that comes through on the aftertaste.
...lively and energetic. Elegant, light-footed, dry and still persistent. Charming fragrance on the finish...
