Estimate
Rich cherry, floral and spice flavors gives this red an austere profile. The dense matrix of tannins adds to that feeling as this finishes on the dry side for now. The potential is in the long, mineral-drenched aftertaste.
Pure bouquet with the fruit a little darker...but equally well defined. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, moderate depth, rounded in the mouth with layers of cranberry and strawberry fruit.... outstanding.
Spicy perfume of raspberry, red cherry, cranberry, clove, smoke and minerals. At once plush and light on its feet, with savory minerality and complex earth tones adding interest to the medicinal black cherry, licorice and spice flavors
Elegant nose... of red and dark berry aromas that are cut with spice, earth, tea and a hint of anise.... well-delineated medium-bodied flavors that are shaped by relatively fine-grained tannins on the dusty and mouth coating finish
Heady, sweet, ripe perfume then a broad spread of rather exotic ripe fruit. Hint of cough drop, but excellent drive and grip.
