Estimate
...offers initial impressions of smoky pencil shavings and crushed stone, followed by intense cassis notes. Full-bodied, rich and concentrated, this is darn impressive, finishing long, with lovely purity of fruit in the end.
A bigger, richer wine...darker cherry, plum, and currant-driven core of fruit as well more minerality, iron, and roasted herb notes with time in the glass...palate is on another level and is full-bodied, deep, rich, and concentrated, with incredible tannins as well as balance... Bravo!
Notes of ripe black and blue fruit, sage, chocolate and pencil shavings with touches of flowers and nut shells. Full-bodied and dry with an array of polished, fine-grained tannins, succulent fruit and a velvety texture. Long, mineral finish.
Blackberry jam, sweet spice, espresso, mocha and chocolate are all dialed up to the maximum.
