Estimate
This wine shows depth and persistence with loads of dark berry and blackcurrant along the way. The wine shows a moment of thinness at the mid-palate, but it then fleshes out, ultimately offering more volume and texture on the close.
Aromas of dark skinned berry, cedar and cassis mingle with whiffs of violet and French oak. On the elegant, structured palate, tight, fine-grained tannins support flavors of black cherry, red currant, espresso and tobacco.
Opulent, featuring ripe plum, black cherry, licorice, earth and saline flavors, with ample flesh offsetting the dense, rich tannins. Balanced and saturated. Fruit, earth and mineral elements linger on the aftertaste.
A juicy, fruity red with some cooked fruit, yet it comes out fresh and vivid at the finish. Medium body.
