Estimate
...rich, smoky, plum and coffee bean scented effort that has medium to full-bodied richness, lots of oak, notable tannin and excellent mid-palate depth and concentration.
Firm in texture, with a burr of tannins surrounding a bright core of blackberry, currant and floral flavors that persist into the generous finish.
... Sexy, slightly high-toned aromas of cassis, licorice, bitter chocolate and violet. At once sweet and savory, showing lovely texture and definition to its dark berry, mineral and spice flavors... Finishes with a strong dusting of building tannins and very good length.
Generous, highly extracted fruit and slightly bitter tannins. Very potent, and with all the marks of ambitious winemaking...
