Estimate
...moderate spice, cassis, red berries and cedar on the nose...medium to full-bodied, silky and fine, brimming with harmony and elegance on the palate, while the finish is long, echoing with cassis, charcoal and crushed stone...tannins firm up a bit on the finish...
Incredible crème de cassis, blueberries, scorched earth, burning embers, and liquid violet-like aromas and flavors dominate the bouquet, and this beauty is full-bodied, concentrated, and powerful on the palate. With just hints of the smoky, meaty, beefy character...incredible tannins, perfect balance, and a monster of a finish.
Displays powerful, highly perfumed aromas of black/blue fruit preserves, licorice, cola, baking spices and potpourri, along with an exotic suggestion of incense. Utterly stains the palate with intense blackberry, cherry, cassis, floral pastille and spicecake flavors that deliver a suave blend of weight and energy...extremely long, mineral- and floral-accented finish that shows outstanding clarity and dark fruit thrust.
...serious poise and pedigree with subtle clove, crushed-brick, iron, black-cherry and plum-skin character...full-bodied...super refined tannins that are so fine-textured, yet intense.
