Estimate
...riper...rounded, sexy... Cassis, black raspberries, toasted spice, graphite, and hints of baking spices all emerge from this medium to full-bodied, powerful effort that stays beautifully balanced and elegant on the palate...incredibly completely, voluptuous wine...
...peach and apricot jam, blackberry pie, sweet spices, pipe tobacco, turned earth, graphite and savory herbs with red fruit sparks. Full-bodied, it's dense and rich in the mouth with intense, minerally fruits, fine, grainy tannins and lip-smacking freshness, finishing very long.
Polished and powerful, with expressive black raspberry, espresso and baking spice flavors that take on richness toward well-groomed tannins.
...vibrant and attractive dark plums, blueberries and spiced earth on the nose that leads to a rich and deeply fleshy palate with a bold, juicy finish.
Robust aromas of blackberry and baking spice rise from an oaky, juicy wine, thick and velvety in texture. Rich, full-bodied style benefits from cola and a fresh pinch of acidity.
