Estimate
...fresh, classic style in its cassis, tobacco leaf, earth, and forest floor-like aromas and flavors. Deep, rich, concentrated, and just perfectly balanced...
...expressions of an abundant black-fruited core, dusty black plum, blackberry and crème de cassis. Full-bodied on the palate, the mouthfeel bursts with a rich and velvety texture that is dense and chewy toward the mid-palate...powerful and finessed finish with structured and lingering tannins...
Dark aromas of blueberry, violet, bitter chocolate and minerals... Concentrated and fat if in a rather brawny style, with its flavors of black raspberry, licorice, mocha and minerals carrying a full load of new oak and huge tannins. Finishes broad-shouldered and very dry.
