Estimate
Extremely aromatic with strawberries, flowers, and stones, following through to a full body with layers of fruit and round tannins that go on and on. Rich and opulent, yet polished and toned.
Decadent cherry and currant aromas signal this vibrant, complex red, whose core of ripe fruit defines the palate, with supporting roles from eucalyptus, leather, licorice, tar and mineral...tannins are dense and alive, while the finish goes on and on.
...powerful wine... Crushed flowers, mint, licorice, blood orange and pine build with time in the glass.
...a firm and compact wine...substantial textural fiber and fruit intensity. There is sweet cherry and plum followed by candied orange peel and rusty iron ore.
...layered aromatics of dried black cherry, leather, dried thyme, and tar...palate is classically structured with tension and firm tannic grip and a long finish...savory dark fruit is persistent, with extracted black tea and dried earth.
Camphor, cedar and leather aromas come to the forefront along with whiffs of underbrush and blue flower. Firmly structured...offering tart cherry, orange zest and tobacco alongside assertive, close-grained tannins that leave a grippy finish.
