Estimate
Plum and ripe-berry with cedar and fresh-mushroom aromas and flavors. Full body, round and juicy tannins and a long and flavorful finish. Hints of chocolate. Shows intensity and focus.
....opens to red and purple fruit aromas with background tones of dried herb, potting soil, cedar wood and light spice...hints of that extra density and richness here...very beautiful and generous vintage.
An attractive mix of cherry, plum, earth, tar, spice, savory and balsamic flavors are the highlights of this well-balanced red. Licorice and salty elements emerge on the finish.
Red cherry, raspberry, tobacco and pepper on the nose. Supple, juicy and broad, with cool, perfumed flavors of red berries, cherry, licorice and herbs...offers lovely acid-fruit balance.
Aromas of mature woodland berry, underbrush, leather and camphor mingle together with a whiff of blue flower. The bright, polished palate offers juicy Marasca cherry, cranberry, cocoa and clove alongside taut fine-grained tannins that leave a firm, somewhat chalky finish.
...minerally fruit nose. Soft and generous...plush fruit and with gripping tannins pulling it further into shape. Creamy notes on the finish...
