Estimate
...magnificent. Silky, plush and nuanced, the 2018 is positively stellar. All the elements come together so gracefully. Bright red berry fruit, blood orange, spice, mint and rose petal are some of the many nuances that develop in bottle...elegant, gracious and drop-dead gorgeous, with bright, saline notes that extend the finish nicely.
A full-bodied and richly layered wine...impresses in its rapturous notes of oak, caramel and black cherry. Dense and well structured, it delivers intensity alongside nuanced elements of crushed rock, earth and underlying acidity.
...solid bouquet of blackcurrants, crushed rock-like minerality, chocolate, smoked tobacco, and earth. This carries to a full-bodied wine with a rich, mouth-filling texture, building tannins and structure, terrific overall balance, and a great finish.
