Estimate
The iron-rich soils of this single parcel deliver a strikingly spicy and seductively complex nose with a wealth of ripe red cherries and wildflowers in play. So much going on here. Fleshy and attractively juicy cherries on the palate. Very polished, long and defined tannins really impress.
Lots of savory redcurrants, dried strawberries, violets, black tea, and flowery incense notes...medium-bodied and has a vibrant, silky texture, the firmer (yet ripe) tannins of the vintage, terrific balance, and a great finish.
...scents of crunchy cranberry fruit, fresh strawberry and raspberry with accents of garrigue, lavender, pink peppercorn, rose petal, perfumed earth and meaty touches. Light to medium-bodied and silky textured, the palate is delicately intense with mineral-tinged fruits, fine-grained tannins and great freshness, finishing long and layered.
Elegant and finely textured, with savory snap to the dried cherry and berry flavors. Cedar and spice notes emerge on the mineral-infused finish.
