Estimate
This opens with subtle aromas of dark berry, tobacco and exotic spice. The vibrant palate is more expressive, delivering a core of juicy black cherry accented by notes of raspberry, white pepper, vanilla, licorice and savory herb. This finessed wine is still young, but structured with tightly knit, yet fine-grained tannins.
...laced with red cherry, plum, leather, tobacco and smoke. Layered and impeccably balanced in the glass...texture and exceptional sense of harmony.
Dark berry and blueberry aromas with hints of lemon and floral undertones. Full body, silky tannins and a hazelnut, chocolate complexity to the whole thing. Delicious and flavorful yet always remains balanced.
...elegant and seamless mono-variety expression that shows loads of Sangiovese character in this classic vintage...the wine sports fresh berry flavors with sweet tannins and a long, velvety finish.
Leather and licorice notes frame a core of cherry in this rich, dense red. Graphite, tobacco and smoke notes add interest as this unwinds on the long, savory aftertaste. Balanced, with a firm, minerally finish.
