Estimate
...subtle Asian influence on the nose, offering well-defined aromas of hoisin and wet limestone...palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and a fine bead of acidity, quite saline in the mouth, with a sense of symmetry on the finish. Simply a class act.
...deep bouquet of cherries, plums, orange rind, smoked duck and spices, followed by a medium to full-bodied, supple palate that's succulent and charming, framed by powdery but not unduly assertive tannins.
Seductive and gorgeous on the nose. Carpets of smooth, compact tannins and such lovely freshness with all that scented dark fruit. Deep, smooth and generous with excellent freshness in the tannins and the fruit. Deep and chalky on the finish, attractively dry length.
