Estimate
Good balance and a plethora of juicy, ripe fruit flavors highlight this full-bodied wine...generous black cherry and light baking-spice aromas, plenty of cherry and sour cherry in the flavors and a moderately tannic texture livened by good acidity.
... Sexy, oak-spiced raspberry and floral pastille scents, along with hints of cola, vanilla and musky underbrush. Appealingly sweet and precise on the palate, offering juicy red fruit liqueur, spicecake and mocha flavors...very good clarity and spicy lift on the impressively long, silky finish...leaves behind suggestions of five-spice powder and vanilla.
Complex and refined...trim mix of graceful plum and wild berry flavors shaded by spice and light oak notes, gaining depth and dimension on the finish.
...notes of candied violets, bay leaf, underbrush, and incense. Supple, nicely textured, with terrific purity of fruit, and nicely integrated acidity, it’s another terrific wine...
