Estimate
Incredible Châteauneuf du Pape-like notes of red and black fruits, peppery garrigue, leather, sandalwood, and graphite...this beauty hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a concentrated, layered, multi-dimensional mouthfeel, terrific mid-palate depth, and a great finish...powerful, opulent yet flawlessly balanced beauty...
...nose is herbal, dark-fruited and elegant...showing off aromas of resinous herbs, amaro, fruitcake and dark spice accents...palate is simply gigantic...finish is fabulously decadent, lined with fine yet grippy tannins and graceful, elegant fruit flavors that pull off a soft landing...
...impresses with its lift and grace, displaying a dusting of sweet spice and dried flowers complemented by a hint of red currant...juicy and racy in style, with supple textures offset by mineral grip. Ripe red and black fruits penetrate the palate with primary concentration as a web of fine-grained tannins saturates the senses...finishes tremendously long and floral, leaving behind a bitter tinge of tart blackberry.
Spicy and floral...deeply concentrated. There’s a star-anise sweetness and a grapefruit bitterness on the palate with plush yet chewy tannin and evident oak spice. Very long finish.
One in system without Grenache and looks like they make Syrah as well.
