Estimate
...polished and complex nose of poached plums, dark cherries, tea leaves, graphite, milk chocolate and a touch of caramel...medium-to full-bodied with firm yet creamy tannins. Caressing, seductive and ripe...with underlying freshness.
...bouquet of blackberry and bittersweet chocolate. It simultaneously offers refinement and power on the palate, with plush tannins that increase in volume and drift away, while purple plum, Mission fig, mocha and star-anise flavors with a hint of mint tea gently ply the palate.
...fresh and balanced, more elegant and subtler...more expressive and more elegant...clean and fresh, tasty, with very fine tannins.
Rich and savory at first, with hints of leather, mesquite smoke and fresh earth that transition to underscore the range of black plum, dried mint, spice box and graphite flavors. Firm, chalky tannins are wrapped in a finely woven profile, showing a sense of finesse and overall balance through to the lasting finish.
...aromatics of red berries, violets and balsamic...entering with redcurrant fruit and underneath a bold line of tannin.
