Estimate
Expansive, smoke-tinged cherry, dark berry preserve, peony and incense aromas show excellent clarity, and a peppery element adds spicy lift. Juicy and energetic on the palate, offering densely packed yet shockingly lively red and blue fruit and floral pastille flavors and a touch of star anise. Shows superb energy on the seamless, strikingly long finish, which is firmed by sneaky tannins and sharpened by a kick of smoky minerality.
...full-bodied, creamy and lush, showing excellent ripeness allied to ample complexity. Hints of herbs, mocha, vanilla and meat accent mulberry fruit, finishing on a long, silky note.
There’s a complex array of apricots and red cherries on offer here with fresh and fragrant flowers and spices. The palate has a very neatly crafted set of cherries and summer berries with peaches, fresh spices and stony freshness to close.
Meaty, toasty, spicy – lots of personality and fragrance. Chalky tannins, bright acid, violet and black pepper aromas on the finish.
