Estimate
...flavors are dark, powerful and intense throughout. Beams of searing tannin and vibrant, pointed acidity wrap around the virile, imposing finish.
...ripe and round fruit flavors that lift gracefully from the glass...bouquet is immediately open and articulate...ample and generous in terms of its aromatic intensity with bold fruit, spice and balsam herb...finish is dry and marked by distant mineral flavors.
Broad and spicy, offering cherry, leather, earth and tobacco notes wrapped in sweet spices. Muscular tannins move in on the finish, yet this remains long and solidly built.
Lovely red-fruit nose with hints of fruit cake. Nice lift and freshness with hints of baking spices on the palate. Fresh and succulent with quite stalky tannins. Genuine and long.
