Estimate
...dried roses, incense, hints of cedar, sage, currants and black cherries in a display...nuanced and perfumed from start to finish, boasting silky textures contrasted by tart berries and minerals, but with sweet tannins that frame the expression perfectly.
...notes of pine resin, black cherry, and dried strawberry aromatics. The palate is concentrated and compact, with dried tomato leaf bitterness and tobacco. The structure is not shy, with a rich core of fruit, bold tannin upfront and just as much acidity to match.
...earthy, meaty version, sporting black cherry, plum, raw beef, iron and bouillon aromas and flavors. The fruit element intensifies on the palate, playing out on a long finish that is balanced and fresh, showing dusty tannins.
...shows dark fruit and spice, while there's an extra layer of leather or cigar ash at the back.
A very polished, refined red with berry and flower aromas, as well as hints of citrus and rose petals. Medium to full body, fine tannins and a juicy finish. Lovely polish.
Wet-earth notes and sour cherry with hints of cassis...long, sandy tannins. The fruit is a little on the skinny side, but this is still embryonic. Long aromatic finish.
