Estimate
Sweet berries and cherries with flowers, orange peel and hints of leaves. Sandalwood and meat...full-bodied with chewy tannins that are polished and beautiful. Great finish. This is really impressive at the end.
Rich and round, here is a red full of macerated plum and cherry flavors, with almond, leather, spice and earth accents. Firms up on the finish, where the vibrant fruit echoes.
...softly textured and fleshed out wine that shows darker and deeper fruit...quiet balance...pretty ripeness of the vintage with dark cherry and summer plum.
New leather, forest floor and ripe woodland-berry aromas make their way to the forefront together with whiffs of violet and pipe tobacco. Full-bodied and firmly structured, the palate offers finesse and concentrated flavors including crushed raspberry, morello cherry, licorice and truffle framed in tightly knit, polished tannins.
...drop-dead gorgeous...alluring display of rich dark fruits with sweet mint, mulling spice and a grounding hint of flowery undergrowth. Its textures are seamless, coasting across a core of vibrant acids, which enliven its flavors of black cherry and currants... Notes of licorice, tobacco and sweet herbs linger long over a gentle coating of fine tannin.
