Estimate
...seriously impressive wine. Bold, rich and intense...exudes tremendous depth and intensity.
...kirsch, warm blueberries and black plums plus wafts of earth, herbs and cedar and a touch of tar. Medium-bodied, the palate is fine, fresh and delicately expressive, finishing long and savory.
Ripe and focused, featuring a beam of cassis, plum and blackberry paste flavors, infused with black tea notes and framed by licorice root and apple wood accents. The grippy finish lets in a sweet tobacco hint.
This has quite a rich core of ripe dark-plum aromas and flavors. The dense, supple tannins are nicely cut.
Lifted, lightly leafy cassis on the nose. Lots of pencil lead. On the palate, the tannins dominate, dry but quite thick. Fresh and creamy on the finish...
