Estimate
... alluring perfume of pain grille, mineral, spice box, cherry, and black raspberry with some blue notes in the background. It has more depth and concentration than the “cuvee classique” with gobs of sweet, ripe fruit...
Smooth and focused, this well-mannered, medium-weight wine has fresh, ripe currant and plum flavors, with hints of white pepper and cream as the finish lingers.
...Pliant red berry and dark cherry flavors boast impressive sweetness and purity, with bitter chocolate gaining strength with air. Finishes with excellent lift and cut, repeating the cherry note.
Deeper colour than the straight Pinot. Fine, fine tannins and elegant subtle fruit and oak, well melded. Restrained and sophisticated, burgundian, I suppose ... Long sweet-fruited finish.
