Estimate
...solid dose of violety florals, ripe plum and dark berry fruit. Tannins push this wine along while a youthful energy pervades. Structure, concentration and balance.
...pedal-to-the-metal notes of blackcurrants, white chocolate, raspberries, and lead pencil. With full-bodied richness, a ripe, sexy texture, and building tannin, it has plenty of fruit yet still has a terrific sense of purity and elegance.
This big red delivers currant and blackberry flavors, with licorice, tar, loamy earth and mineral notes that add depth and balance. Juicy acidity balances the assertive but well-integrated tannins.
...highly perfumed bouquet evokes ripe red and blue fruits, vanilla, allspice and smoky minerals, and a suave floral topnote emerges with air. Gently chewy and sweet on the palate, offering vibrant black raspberry, cherry-vanilla and candied lavender flavors plus a deeper suggestion of bitter chocolate. Polished, well-knit tannins give shape to a very long, sweet finish that features hints of smokiness and baking spices.
...slightly international style with plenty of oak flavors and aromas...rich, full-bodied red with plenty of tannins...
