Estimate
This seamless blend of oak spices, cherry-plum fruitiness and silky tannins makes for an irresistible wine.
Notes of blackberries and blackcurrants with dark chocolate, tobacco leaf, spice box and nut shell. Full-bodied with an array of finely polished, silky tannins and seamless, sleek texture. Compact and a little tight in the middle, yet refined with a deep dark fruit backbone. Long and smooth.
...deliveries a bouquet redolent of black cherries, dusty earth and cassis. Full-bodied, it's round, opulent and ripe but framed by tannins that grow increasingly firm on the lingering finish.
Displays alder dust notes around a core of creamed plum and boysenberry preserves, while warm earth and savory accents gain steam through the finish, leaving a touch of grain.
It offers notable poise and persistence... Sumptuous red fruit, spice, cedar, leather and blood orange linger.
...cassis and darker currant-like fruit to go with a mineral-laced style in its leafy tobacco, chocolate, and graphite-driven aromas and flavors...ripe tannins, good balance, and solid length on the finish.
