Estimate
...ripe and fruit-forward...delivers a special level of power that transcends the bouquet and the palate, resulting in dark fruit, spice, leather, cured tobacco and rosemary essence. The tannins are firm but integrated and otherwise tucked into the ample flesh of the wine.
...has aromas that are forward with menthol, sweet chewing tobacco, and saddle leather...full-bodied, with notes of red plum, vanilla, and licorice, firm...broad, long finish. Luxurious...
...gorgeous display of crushed stone, graphite and exotic savory spices before giving way to citrus-tinged cherries, cinnamon and clove...silky-smooth and medium in body...polished yet compact dark red and black fruits, all perfectly framed by juicy acids. Minerals, spiced orange and purple inner florals amass toward the close, as fine tannins slowly saturate, creating a dry yet wonderfully balanced expression through the finale.
This suave and velvety red boasts cherry, leather, earth, tobacco and woodsy aromas and flavors. Verging on creamy, the texture showcases the ripe, macerated cherry fruit, ending with a dusting of tannins. Offers fine overall balance and length.
...pleasantly dusty nose of dried raspberries, cloves and sandalwood. Refined tannins. Crushed red berries and some tobacco leaf on the palate lend elegance to this full-bodied red.
Fragrant purple-flower, pipe-tobacco, camphor and new leather aromas...full-bodied... Firmly structured...palate offers dried cherry, licorice and roasted coffee bean alongside assertive, close-grained tannins. You'll also notice warmth of alcohol on the close.
Brooding...beautifully stitched-together palate of tangy red fruit and clayey tannins. Great focus, freshness and length.
