Estimate
Ripe black and blue fruit and floral scents, accompanied by olive and exotic spice and incense notes. Fleshy and concentrated yet lively as well, offering sweet, smoke-tinged cassis and blackberry flavors and a touch of candied violet. The spice and floral notes come back on a very long, penetrating finish framed by smooth, harmonious tannins.
...beautifully pure cassis, black raspberry, liquid violet, wood smoke and green olive aromas and flavors. More nuanced and complex...offers medium to full-bodied richness, sweet tannin and a great finish.
Round and velvety on the palate. Already with massive fruit on the front palate and some fine tannins on the end. Nicely done. Texture is all! But there is considerable length too.
