Estimate
...explosively perfumed bouquet displays ripe, mineral-accented boysenberry, cherry, licorice pastille and incense scents, and a spicy nuance gains power with air. Stains the palate with intense red and blue fruit, spicecake and candied lavender flavors that show outstanding clarity and energetic lift. Smooth, slow-building tannins add shape and grip to the finish, which hangs on with strong, floral- and mineral-driven persistence.
...big perfume of blue fruits, liquid violets, damp herbs, and earth, with just a hint of chocolate.
...sun-kissed bouquet of plum preserve, cassis, fig and sweet spices, with hints of some savory bass notes to come. On the palate, it’s full-bodied, plush and juicy, with a richly extracted, flavorful mid-palate and some chewy tannins that make themselves felt on the finish.
