Estimate
...rich and oaky nose...offers enough vanilla tones to stand up to the juicy blackberry essence, plum reduction and mocha tones. Full-bodied and broad-shouldered, the palate is chocolaty...long, lingering and juicy finish.
...aromas of cassis, graphite, tobacco leaf, bitter chocolate, menthol and peppery herbs. Rich, supple and deep, with a captivating sweetness... Spreads out nicely to saturate the palate, finishing with broad, tongue-dusting tannins and lingering sweetness. A fairly substantial, firmly built Cabernet with good palate presence and no rough edges.
...aromas bring notes of butterscotch, vanilla, cherry, baking spice and dried herb. Opulent, fleshy feeling flavors follow. It lingers on the finish, with fruit and barrel playing equal parts—a thoroughly enchanting wine.
