Estimate
Underbrush, camphor and new leather aromas...grilled herbs. Full-bodied and structured...dried black cherry, licorice and tobacco alongside firm, fine-grained tannins.
...loaded with black and purple fruits, such as blackberry preserves and plum. Those more robust tones are followed by spice, tar and campfire ash.
Sweet, ripe cherry, blackberry and plum fruit flavors are framed by mineral, tobacco and thyme accents in this vibrant, balanced red...nice equilibrium on the lingering finish.
Masses of ashen earth, smoke, dusty cherry and roses with nuances of clove...silky and pliant upon entry, presenting a rich display of intense red and hints of black fruits laced with chalky minerals that drenches the palate. Penetrating acidity and grippy tannins create a burst of cheek-puckering tension...notes of licorice and hard red candies linger through the structured, medium-length finale.
Blackberry, blueberry, stone and floral aromas. Hints of cedar, too. Full-bodied and chewy with polish and focus. Dried berries and hints of meat. This shows the ripeness of the grapes. Chewy at the end.
Firm, deep cherry fruit on the nose and with an undertow of savoury spice. Lots of perfumed sour-cherry fruit on the palate and with bags of firm, but polished tannins on the finish.
