Estimate
...linear and tight with blue fruit and fine tannins. Some graphite and lead pencil, too. Medium to full body with very Pauillac sensibility. Delicate, yet structured.
...offers up a gorgeous array of red and black currants, black raspberries, tobacco, and flowers, with more classic lead pencil and tobacco notes emerging with time in the glass. Balanced, medium to full-bodied, and concentrated...ripe, supple tannins, terrific mid-palate density, and a great finish.
...very attractive, wonderfully delineated bouquet, with blood orange tincturing the vibrant black fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, slightly peppery in style with real depth and longevity on the finish.
...offers up aromas of minty berries, loamy soil, violets, cedar and spices, followed by a medium to full-bodied, succulent palate with a pretty core of fruit, lively acids and powdery structuring tannins.
Offers red and black currant, plum and blackberry preserve flavors that are both lush and brambly in feel, a contrast that plays out on a finish in which a bolt of cast iron and a twinge of warm earth check in. Features a lovely savory/cedar echo at the very end, giving it a slight throwback feel.
Expressive nose and excellent clarity on the palate, I like the fruit flavour that pushes through with impactful tannins...so poised and persistent with an appealing overall mouthfeel and delivery of ripe fruit, cool menthol edges and long length... Refined and charming.
Ripe and slightly damp and furry on the nose. Solid and concentrated... Inky, sour finish.
