Estimate
...pure To Kalon on the nose, with a flowery, incense, and spicy character as well as gorgeous blackberry and cassis-like fruits. Full-bodied and powerful, yet balanced and graceful...beautiful, classic 2018...
...bursts with black cherry compote, crème de cassis and plum preserves scents, plus hints of tar, wild sage and licorice with a waft of dusty soil. Packed with black fruit and earthy layers, the medium to full-bodied palate has a solid frame of grainy tannins, finishing long and earthy.
Cedar, earth and sage define the beginning of this grippy, powerful wine that exudes all the elegance and intensity of the site. Black cherry, black licorice and textured tannins balance the savory earthiness and edge.
Notes of ripe black fruit, licorice, vanilla, chocolate and tar. Full body. An array of plush, chewy tannins frame the ripe-fruit character on the palate... Long and slightly chewy finish from the tannins, yet polished.
Showy, with melted black licorice and Black Forest cake notes, draped over a core of densely packed blackberry, fig and black currant preserve flavors. Loam, cedar and sage fill in on the muscular finish...everything is in proportion...
