Estimate
...vibrant chocolate-covered cherries, crushed blackcurrants, blackberry pie and Chinese five spice with hints of wild sage, garrigue and unsmoked cigars. The palate is big, rich and full with a firm, grainy frame and oodles of freshness, finishing long on a provocative mineral/iron ore note.
The deep, rich, and concentrated...full-bodied yet light on its feet, with good acidity and moderate yet fine, sweet tannins. Giving up notes of blackberries, currants, chocolate, and tobacco leaf...
...captures the essence of what makes this rugged hillside site so compelling, specifically the interplay of exotic ripeness and bright acids. Succulent red cherry, rose petal, mint and sweet spice all infuse this vibrant, strikingly beautiful Cabernet.
This is very silky and polished with such length and texture... Full-bodied, integrated and tight. It really takes off at the finish.
