Estimate
...impressive dark-berry intensity on the nose, as well as a wealth of woody spices and cedary-oak influence. The palate has a very succulent and forthright feel with a central spine of tannin that carries it long and seamless. Polished and complete wine.
...loads of spiced red and black fruits, smoked meats, graphite, and barbecue notes, this power-packed effort hits the palate with full-bodied richness, loads of mouthcoating tannins, terrific depth of fruit, and a big finish.
Aromas of blueberry, blackberry, cassis, licorice pastille and sexy oak convey distinctly warm tones. Wonderfully rich, plush wine with terrific horizontality on the palate...tannins spread out and build on the long, spicy finish.
