Estimate
...dark, plush and succulent red wine with seamless overall integration...big-picture wine that embraces bold fruit, oak spice, acidity and tannin in one overwhelming and warm embrace...
This is fragrant, offering cherry, leather, floral and spice notes. On the palate, this remains fresh, with persistent flavors and fine harmony. Dusty tannins pull everything together on the finish. There's plenty of energy here.
...ripe, sexy Brunello that doesn't pull any punches with its kirsch, dried earth, spice-box, and licorice aromas and flavors. Ripe, medium to full-bodied, and downright flambouyant, it still has good acidity, a balanced, layered textured, ripe tannins, and a great finish...delivers serious amounts of pleasure.
... Ripe red cherry, sweet spices and candied violet on the ample nose, plus a hint of alcohol-derived heat. Rich, dense and plush, featuring flinty and savory flavors of plums and dark berries nicely framed by youthfully chewy tannins. Finishes long, clean and pure with an enticingly creamy, suave blackberry-nectar-like quality. Richer and deeper.
... Lots of oak and lively, concentrated cherry on the nose. Oak has quite a big impact but there is such a lot of fruit that it integrates. The finish has amazing length and muscular grip...
