Estimate
...dark cherry, plum and hints of milk chocolate on the nose and palate...full-bodied with layers of fruit and velvety tannins. Flavorful... Serious Brunello.
...comes roaring out with terrific intensity and balance...round and smooth, with layers of dark fruit, cherry and spice. These various aromas blend nicely, showing the right contrasts where necessary.
...light on its feet...evokes plenty of cherry, wild thyme, eucalyptus and tar flavors. A vibrant acidity drives the finish, while mature tannins mesh nicely, echoing the cherry theme.
...sweetly spiced, hauntingly floral and seductive from the first tilt of the glass...bright cherries, candied orange, mint leaf and lavender...seamless and silky in the mouth, with a subtle twang of citrus and vibrant acids that energize the expression, ushering in ripe red hints of herbal-tinged black berries. Rounded tannins come forward through the close under an air of licorice and violets.
...aromatics of clove, orange zest, ripe cherry fruit and sweet floral aromatics. Subtle elegance characterizes the palate...with notes of black tea and cherry pit.
Balsamic aromas of camphor and cedar mingle with new leather and forest floor on this full-bodied red. Firmly structured...palate offers licorice, tobacco and cassis...fine-grained tannins.
Intriguing, savoury-sweet spice nose... Fragrant, tangy and almost a little tart on the palate, while the finish shows a better balance between the fruit, the plentiful acidity and the coating tannins.
