Estimate
There is a fine purity to the black cherry, blackberry and spice flavors in this supple red. It's harmony and finesse makes it approachable now, yet there is ample structure to develop over the short term. Fruit and spice accents extend the finish.
Subtle aromas of sweet strawberries and hints of citrus. Violets, too. Full-bodied and very fruity, but the tannins create a creamy texture and the acidity provides a tangy finish.
...opulent, spicy wine balances fresh tones of roasted black plum and blackberry preserves against a peppery, charry frame.
...offers up aromas of sweet berry fruit, black truffle and spices, framed by a discreet touch of oak. It is medium to full-bodied, fleshy and enveloping, with a concentrated, rich and youthfully reserved core built around velvety tannins and lively acids.
Peppery, lightly spiced, a hint of stems perhaps. Definitely a herby freshness to the dark-red fruit. Dark and savoury on the palate, dark fruited and elegant. Finest of tannins but all in balance. Succulent, persistent yet somehow weightless.
