Estimate
...a huge, massive, unctuous style as well as terrific notes of blackcurrants, espresso, tobacco, and smoked earth. This full-bodied effort stays nicely balanced on the palate and has loads of fruit and richness, sweet tannins, and a huge finish...
...an earthy/meaty nose with notions of chargrilled meats, tilled soil, fungi and asphalt over a core of black cherries, plum preserves and mulberries with a waft of cloves. Full-bodied with a brick-house frame of grainy tannins and just enough freshness, it exudes juicy black fruit and earth flavors, finishing long and savory.
Dynamic and boldly structured, offering a brooding dark color and rich yet burly blueberry, bitter chocolate and smoked pepper flavors that finish with well-buffed tannins.
