Estimate
A complex, deeply perfumed bouquet evokes fresh dark berries, cherry cola and potpourri... Juicy, expansive black raspberry, bitter cherry and floral pastille flavors... Shows excellent clarity and breadth on the persistent finish, which is framed by harmonious, slow-mounting tannins.
...strongly scented with fresh tobacco, and brings generous black-cherry fruit to the front and center...fruit is accented by a wide swath of cola, perhaps Dr. Pepper...finish continues long, clean and fresh.
...offers introverted, earthy bouquet with plenty of undergrowth and damp moss-like aromas...medium-bodied with supple ripe tannin, a crisp line of acidity, harmonious in the mouth with fine mineralité coming through on the tensile finish.
A fine and silky red with strawberry, lemon and plum character. Medium body, fine tannins and a fresh finish.
Firm and focused, with dense blackberry, mineral and pepper flavors that persist against prickly tannins as the finish lingers.
