Estimate
...gives up fragrant black pepper, crushed rocks, Provence herbs and black olive notes with a core of baked black cherries, preserved plums and blackberries plus a waft of charcuterie. Full-bodied, the palate packs a wallop but also possesses great poise, featuring very ripe, rounded tannins and beautiful freshness, finishing long and savory.
Combines torque and polish, with a complex backbone wrapped in expressive blackberry, smoky pepper meat and licorice flavors that build richness toward refined tannins.
...offers a more mineral/iron slant in its meaty red and black fruits, and it's rich, structured, and concentrated on the palate.
...deep, powerful and intense... Plush and dense, with tons of layers...built on a core of concentrated fruit. Black cherry, chocolate, leather and spice fill out the wine's ample, large-scaled frame.
Black pepper and blueberry meet with tarragon, sweet mint and beef char on the nose...palate offers a range of minty herbal qualities, but is dominated by a black-plum-sauce richness...
