Estimate
...excellent intensity to cherry, spice, pomegranate and Santa Rosa plum flavors...mineral core of sea salt and umami nuance the streamlined tannins and subtle, lingering cedar tones.
...displays immense purity and definition on the nose, blackberry leaf and raspberry with a touch of smoke. There is a real succulence on the palate, lovely flesh texture, good acidity, ripe raspberry, wild strawberry and red cherry.
...aromas of dark raspberry, flowers, minerals and smoky dark chocolate. Wonderfully sweet and seductive on the palate... Amazingly silky and tactile... Finishes very broad and long, with a lingering, highly perfumed sweetness and very fine tannins.
...black cherry fruit is bold, the vanilla-laced oak assertive, and the overall impression is one of power...
Very big, intense and rather ‘American’ boldness on the nose. Very sweet and rich on the front palate with strong cherry flavours...pretty flashy, distinctive stuff. Dry finish.
