Estimate
There is a mix of cherry, currant, plum, leather, spice and sanguine flavors highlighting this stylish, yet firmly-structured red. Harmonious, the ripe fruit balances resonant tannins, ending with a fine iron-tinged finish.
The nose is quite shy but eventually releases suggestions of red berry, forest floor and camphor. The smooth, medium-bodied palate is elegantly structured, offering sour cherry, orange zest and star anise alongside fine-grained tannins.
Cherry-pie nose and quite rich. With aeration exotic spices lift from the glass and the fruit becomes more focused. Hints of oak. Fully concentrated fruit palate with lots of tangy acidity, but still a little embryonic on the palate. Succulent cherry fruit with sandy tannins on the finish.
