Estimate
...pretty accents add complexity to the wine's solid core of dark fruit...mouthfeel is polished...
...big and rich wine showing the ripeness of the vintage with a full body, hints of jam and new wood. Long and chewy finish.
Aromas of red berry, espresso, underbrush and French oak lead the nose along with a balsamic note. The bright, sleek palate evokes wild cherry, crushed raspberry, pipe tobacco and licorice...
Pretty intense, interesting, already layered nose. Very rich start. Nicely splits the difference between ripe and refreshing styles.
