Estimate
...Terrific bouquet of black cherries, toasted spice, dried Provençal herbs, and hints of graphite. Medium to full-bodied, pure, elegant and layered on the palate, with fine yet certainly present tannin...
...generous and fruit-forward, leading with notes of ripe cherries, strawberry preserve and subtle hints of candied peel. On the palate, it's full-bodied, ample and succulent, with juicy fruit overlaying fine-grained but savory, chewy varietal tannins.
...Aromas of musky plum, dark cherry, mocha and herbs. Wonderful silky on entry, then quite fresh in the middle palate, with the fine-grained raspberry and tobacco flavors displaying lovely inner-mouth lift and energy to buffer the wine's sweetness. Finishes with suave, building, ultimately firm tannins and excellent length.
