Estimate
Beautiful aromas of flowers and berries, intermingled in fresh and brambly mode with a cedary edge. This is very fresh. The tannins carve an exceptionally deep, long line through the dark berries and cassis and deliver a very powerful, unwavering finish... Very powerful and focused.
Sappy and dense, with kirsch, plum reduction, mulled açai berry and warmed fig fruit showing impressive range, while licorice snap, ganache and roasted apple wood notes jostle behind them.
...cedar, red and black currants, kirsch and menthol with smoked meats. The palate is medium to full-bodied, firm, grainy and packed with youthful, energetic fruit, finishing long and perfumed.
...succulent, racy and inviting, with striking textural richness and depth. Ripe dark plum, tobacco, cedar, licorice and spice are all generous...
Big and packed with spice and smokiness...full of rich black fruits and juicy acidity.
Spicy, intense and interesting on the nose... Polish and salinity... Pure pleasure. Long and suave. Lots of minerality.
...ample black, plummy, cherry fruits that are balanced by notes of scorched earth, licorice, and earth...sexy, plump, chewy effort...packs tons of fruit, character, and delicious charm.
