Estimate
Dense and concentrated, offering rich, vibrant dark berry fruit that shows notes of currant, blackberry and wild berry, with spicy, floral scents. Tannins clamp down on the finish.
..shows plenty of fruit, but less of the nuances that defines the very finest wines in the line up. Spices, dark red fruit, flowers and licorice wrap around the plush finish. This is an excellent choice for drinking over the near-term...
...Plush, sweet and easygoing, with a pliant texture to the flavors of currant, licorice & graphite. Balanced to give early pleasure but the wine's dusty building tannins and chocolatey persistence suggest that it will gain in complexity..
