Estimate
...aromas of wild berry, forest floor, rose and new leather waft out of the glass along with whiffs of camphor. Delicious and smooth, the elegantly structured palate features ripe wild cherry, blood orange and licorice alongside polished tannins...well balanced, with fresh acidity—what a fantastic showing.
The bouquet opens to bright red fruit, cola, chopped mint and blue flower....lot of beautiful energy on hand...smooth and silky...
...mix of iron, leather, tar and Mediterranean scrub marks this wiry red, which settles into a core of cherry and strawberry as the dense matrix of tannins emerges, asserting itself on the finish.
...initial burst of medicinal red fruits and exotic spice evolves into a more refined expression of dusty roses, cedar and wild strawberries... The textures are silky in feel, contrasted by an intense wave of tart berries and salty minerals, all carried across a core of zesty acids...rounded tannins...classic and fully satisfying finale.
Plenty of floral and plum character with some sour-cherry and smoke undertones...full and chewy, yet polished and proper.
...vinous with aromas of balsamic, dried oregano, dried cherry, and tomato leaf. There is ripe fruit upfront on the palate before turning savory with raspberry seed, clove, black tea and an angular structure with classic sensibility.
...light herbal aroma along with sweet and spicy fruit...hint of citrus. Dry, chalky texture, the acidity standing out against the rather gentle fruit weight...the whole is elegant but slightly lean.
