Estimate
...dark fruit...mixed with potpourri and incense and becoming more flamboyant as it aerates in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins...certainly good density...enticing tensile finish.
...notes of blue berry, plum liqueur and violet that are cut with spice, menthol and earth hints. The exceptionally rich and impressively full-bodied flavors evidence a taut muscularity, all wrapped in an overtly powerful and lingering finish that is naturally sweet...quite firm; indeed it's borderline rustic.
Offering up aromas of dark cherries, wild berries, cassis, dark chocolate, peony and caramelized orange rind, the wine is medium to full-bodied, ample and elegantly fine boned, with chalky structuring tannins, a pure core of fruit and a long, fragrant finish.
Fragrant with dark fruits and the sweetness of blueberry. A cedary freshness ‘of the forest’. Dark and peppery... On the palate, rich, full and sweet but no excess sweetness, with floral notes that are more violets than roses. Succulent and chewy but leaves the mouth clean.
