Estimate
Suave, highly perfumed red berry and cherry preserve scents are complemented by suggestions of baking spices and cola, along with a subtle floral overtone. Sweet and pliant in the mouth, offering juicy black raspberry, cherry-vanilla and rose pastille flavors and a smoky mineral quality...spice and floral notes repeat on a very long, smooth finish framed by rounded, harmonious tannins.
...big, juicy mouthful of ripe strawberry and raspberry fruit in this wine...refreshing acidity is a fine counterpoint to the barrel flavors...
Deeply structured and vibrant, with dusty violet, raspberry and loamy mineral aromas that open to layered and lingering flavors that finish with refined tannins.
