Estimate
...delicate tones of wild berry, spice, licorice, rosemary twig and candied orange peel... The finish is long and silky with lingering tones of smoke and crushed mineral. This wine is very nicely done.
... Smoke, scorched earth, tobacco, menthol, licorice and wild cherry all convey an impression of gravitas...has quite a bit of density and richness...
Iris, rose petal and menthol aromas... On the taut elegant palate, polished tannins support sour cherry, cranberry and star anise. It's balanced and almost racy, with vibrant acidity.
... Nice intensity of red cherry at the core, with nut, fresh earth and some rose lift. Sweet, balsamic cherry palate entry...hint of dilution on the mid palate... Fine, fairly firm tannins that are well-judged for the palate density. Nice and elegant. Fair length.
