Estimate
Iron, blueberry jam, spices and French oak are all super-expressive... highly attractive... Firm mountain tannins give the wine much of its energy. Sweet floral/spiced notes add lift on the explosive finish.
Lots of dried fruit and coffee character with spices and walnuts on the nose and palate. Full body, round tannins and a savory finish.
...a full-bodied mouthfeel, lots of concentration, extract and intensity, rugged tannins and some rusticity. Everything needed for long-term aging...
Well-crafted, with a rich core of dark berry, black licorice, crushed rock and loamy, cedary oak flavors, accented by dusty tannins. Gains on the finish, where the core fruitiness pushes through with gusto.
