Estimate
Aromas of black currants, violets, lavender, and stone follow through a full body, chewy tannins and toned muscular structure. This is a Mondavi reserve that harkens back to the great years of the 1970s. A tribute to the 50th anniversary.
A beautifully polished wine... full-bodied & rich with outstanding depth, ripeness & purity. There is plenty of backbone & tannin.... chocolate, blackcurrant & blackberry. This is a beauty... worthy homage to the legendary Robert Mondavi.
Extremely tight and savory, showing an herbal element and conveying an impression of strong acidity...Finishes with big, mouth-clenching tannins and a note of youthful bitterness...holds out considerable potential...
Toasty dark aromatics. Dense palate with all dark notes – blackcurrant, dried herbs, black olive, and a dark rocky minerality accented by iron and dry cocoa all clothed in a body of crushed dark velvet...Incredibly dense...
