Estimate
...tones of barbecue smoke pit, olive tapenade, black raspberry, worn leather and black pepper. Medium-bodied but full of flavor...jam-packed with seductive red floral tones, mixed berry chutney and applewood-smoked bacon with high toned red fruit essence... has serious wow factor!... Bravo!
...offers a more rounded, opulent, softer style...lots of meaty dark fruits, toasted spice, leather, and chocolate aromas and flavors...beautiful, fleshy, classy...
Expressive and handsomely polished, with raspberry, orange peel and smoky beef flavors that build structure toward refined tannins.
Wild, rocky aromas of dried currant, crushed stone, black pepper, licorice, briny black olive tapenade and okra pickles...savory flavors of black raspberry, black pepper and crushed rock...hints of wild mint and menthol--and a note of apricot from the Viognier--adding lift and verve. Very fine-grained and smooth, with an element of umami richness... Finishes with piquant suggestions of iodine and olive and sneaky subtle persistence.
Impressive nose...lovely violet and dried fig note. Lovely peppery snap on the palate and floral notes – a ripe and glycerol feel but has layers of fruit and spice. Very attractive...elegant and fleshy.
