Estimate
Smoke-accented black and blue fruits, mocha and a hint of olive paste on the perfumed nose. Silky, sweet and open-knit, offering energetic blackberry, cola and vanilla flavors that are energized by a vein of juicy acidity. Shows the energy of the vintage and finishes long and silky, with even tannins building slowly and adding shape and subtle grip.
...lots of blackberry, spice, peppery herbs, and hints of incense, this beauty hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, a rounded, layered texture, sweet tannins, and a great finish.
Offers a pleasant winey core of cassis and dark plum flavors, with a brambly spine and mouthwatering anise notes on the finish.
Vanilla and clove from the new oak on the nose – flashy and fragrant. The palate backs up the oak scent with ripe black fruit...finish is dominated by toasted, smoky aromas.
