Estimate
...straight up sensational...a deep, slightly reticent bouquet of cherry pits, black raspberries, dried violets, forest floor and spice. Incredibly nuanced, seamless, silky and refined on the palate, with terrific tension, purity, and concentration, it’s one of the do-not-miss wines of the 2015 vintage!
Rich ample and pliant...possesses remarkable depth and density in all of its dimensions... What comes through most is the extraordinary quality of the fruit. An infusion of blood orange, pomegranate, mint, white pepper and spices leads into a finish laced with exoticism and allure.
...with constantly evolving aromas of wild berries, rich spices, orange rind, espresso roast and violets...superb...medium-bodied... Intensely concentrated and underpinned by succulent acids, the quality of the powdery, velvety tannins is first-rate...finish is extremely long and stony...
Here the restrained nose is cool, airy and wonderfully seductive while displaying enough floral, herbal tea, sandalwood and spice elements... There is a lovely sense of verve to the rich and seductively textured medium-bodied flavors that brim with dry extract while delivering superb depth on the lingering finish where the only reproach is a hint of warmth...an absolute knockout...
