Estimate
Loaded with notions of black raspberries, sweet spice, saddle leather, graphite and dried Provençal herbs, this full-bodied, unctuous beauty has loads of sweet fruit, perfectly balanced, sweet, polished tannin, and a huge finish.
Cedar and crème de cassis...big, powerful, intense bottle of Syrah, packed with dark fruit and layers of crushed stones and pencil shavings and buoyed by hints of savory spice. Full-bodied and tannic yet velvety and rich...
Rich and polished, with alluring raspberry, boysenberry and fig reduction flavors gliding through, seamlessly entwined with smoldering charcoal, warm licorice snap and fruitcake notes. The fruit flows through the finish, showing a lingering anise echo.
Dark fruit preserves, incense, candied flowers, olive and smoky Indian spices on the deeply perfumed nose. Sappy and seamless on the palate, offering densely packed black and blue fruit flavors and suave spicecake and mineral accents. Opens up very slowly with aeration and finishes very long and sweet, featuring lingering dark berry and floral pastille notes and smooth, slow-building tannins.
