Estimate
...soft, pretty wine... Mocha, black cherry, leather and spice all meld together in a soft, gracious wine that shows off the more understated style of the year nicely.
A ripe and brambly nose with cedar and fresh-earth nuances across violets and blackcurrants. There’s a wealth of ripe and plush mulberries and blackberries on the palate, where sheet-like tannins carve an attractively deep finish.
...plenty of cassis, graphite, and damp herb notes. Medium to full-bodied, it's nicely textured, balanced, and is a charming, rock-solid effort.
