Estimate
...aromas of blackberries, peppery herbs, blueberries, bouquet garni, and some gamey, meaty notes...rich, medium to full-bodied, flawlessly balanced...ample mid-palate depth, building yet ripe tannins, and a great finish...
...distinctly savory and earthy...with a meaty mix of beef blood and underbrush giving way to wilted violets and crushed stone...soothingly round and cool-toned in feel, with ripe red and black fruits accentuated by a flourish of sweet spice toward the close...mouth waters for more as notes of bitter cocoa and sage slowly fade.
...opened up to blow me an aromatic kiss of blackberries, black pepper, bacon fat and a trace of granola. The medium-bodied wine's flavors of black cherry, espresso and vanilla extract went on forever, ably backed by fine-grained tannins and elevated acidity.
I like the mix of white and black pepper here, plus dark mocha, grilled rosemary and dark cherry fruit. Touch of cedar. Intensely flavorful and full-bodied with firm and polished tannins. Broad and firm finish.
...potent, very ripe wine packed with black cherry and plum flavours that are anchored by a steely coolness and nervy acidity that pierces through the finish...glossy and opulent yet delicate in texture with a finish marked by fine, polished tannins.
