Estimate
...Deep garnet-purple colored, it leaps from the glass with gregarious crème de cassis, wild blueberries and black raspberries with nuances of black tea, violets, aniseed, truffles and new leather... Full-bodied, very firm... the palate is absolutely packed with black fruit and earthy layers, finishing with epic persistence...
...literally off-the-charts effort is a good as Cabernet Sauvignon gets, offering complex blueberry and blackberry fruits, violets, bay leaf, and forest floor aromas and flavors. It’s a big, structured.. yet it has a seamless texture, incredible elegance paired with full-bodied power, building tannins, and a great, great finish...
...Iron, smoke, blood orange, cedar and tobacco add aromatic nuance to this sinewy, nuanced ...plenty of depth and resonance in its fruit...
Intense cassis and plum reduction flavors form the base for this wine, with streaks of graphite, anise and roasted apple wood adding energy and cut throughout. ...well-built, with deeply embedded acidity in place...
