Estimate
Bold, juicy and robust...aromas of blackberry reduction, spiced plum sauce and black cherry, with black pepper tones, dried herbs and sun-baked river rocks. Full-bodied, robust and juicy with a dusty minerality... Flavors of bitter dark chocolate, leather and spiced cherry compote linger on the long, drawn-out finish along with black tea tannins...
Crushed blackberry, violet, licorice pastille and smoky cured meats plus an emerging note of black olive on the nose. Densely packed, suave and deep, conveying a captivating restrained sweetness to its flavors of dark berries and soil. Finishes with seriously broad, fine-grained tannins and terrific subtle persistence.
...lots of berry and toasted-vanilla character, as well as other spices. Full body. Round and soft tannins. Flavorful finish.
...aromas of mulled blueberries, tobacco, peppered game, and damp earth...medium to full-bodied, with beautiful fruit, ripe, polished tannins, and a big finish.
