Estimate
...flowery with terrific fruit intensity and classic Spottswoode elegance and purity...plenty of breadth, depth and richness.
Lots of tobacco, fresh mushroom and wet earth on the nose that turns to dark fruits such as mulberries and raspberries. Full bodied, with a wonderful density of fruit. Round and velvety tannins giving this a beautiful balance.
...mid-weight, charming, elegant wine...wonderful red and black currant fruits, notes of spice, sandalwood, and dried earth, medium to full body, and silky, polished tannins...wonderfully complex, endearing, classy wine...
Drying herb, mineral and graphite join grilled meat and dried currant in this taut, tannic, structured and backward youngster. Firmly tannic and chewy, very concentrated and tightly wound.
Blueberry, boysenberry, violet, pepper, licorice and dark chocolate, plus a suggestion of leathery brett, on the captivating nose...flavors of dark berries, violet and leather...finishes very firm and spicy, with serious, rather clenched tannins saturating the front teeth and incisors. Fruity up front...then very savory on the back.
Fresh and vibrant. Such lift and refreshment. Seductive...racy and delicate... Beautiful texture.
