Estimate
...copious red cherries, boysenberry and fig-like scents...palate is medium-bodied with firm, quite solid tannin that provide good backbone to support the weight of fruit...nicely proportioned and there is more than enough freshness towards the finish.
...vibrant and energetic with fine mineralité...palate is medium-bodied, a silver bead of acidity, energetic and intense with tobacco and graphite on the finish.
Sweet, moderately oaky nose with much chocolate and a hint of something vegetal in the background from the cab. Generous ripe fruit and some lovely warm dry tannins behind it. Already very harmonious on the rather long finish.
...spice, toast and vanilla tones hovering over fruit...sense of over extraction that is luckily mitigated by lively acidity.
Pure pleasure on the nose. Polished savoury leather... Very slightly bitter on the end.
