Estimate
...endowed with the silkiest of tannins and flat-out beauty from start to finish. The wine fleshes out on the palate with layers of red berries, flowers and licorice that gain volume and breadth with time in the glass..
..Tight, classically dry and light on its feet, with outstanding delicacy to its flavors of pomegranate, minerals and blood orange. Very young and unevolved today but remarkably subtle and graceful. A brilliantly pure Clos Saint-Jacques...
There is dazzling precision and intensity to the mineral-driven, linear and gorgeously vibrant flavors that possess the same remarkably depth of the nose while culminating in an explosive, linear and poised finish that deliver huge length.
Sweet, mellow, confident, comfortable. Not rich but great balance and energy. A big wine. Hint of bitter cherries but so much else. Real undertow.
