Estimate
Offering up pretty aromas of raspberries, spices and a discrete framing of new wood, this Suchots is medium to full-bodied, supple and charming, with ripe acids, fine-grained tannins and a nicely defined finish.
...featuring earthy and animal notes that give way to flavors of smoky cherry, violet, iron and spice. A beefy red, with a long, earth-tinged aftertaste.
...pure bouquet of black cherries, raspberry and crushed strawberry, nicely focused and quite sensual in style. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly chalky tannin, rather masculine in style for a Les Suchots but very tensile toward the mineral-driven, quite voluminous finish.
...notes from the softly oaky nose of floral, spice and dark raspberry. There is good richness and volume to the velvet-textured medium-bodied flavors that are surprisingly robust on the mildly tangy if solidly lingering finish.
Attractive undergrowth character – mushroom and fern – makes this typically burgundian, but with bright, clean fruit to give clarity. Rounded and chewy on the palate with mouth-watering acidity and a savoury, gastronomic finish.
