Estimate
Enticing aromas of menthol, ripe dark-skinned fruit, new leather and sandalwood lead the way. Boasting a heady combination of power and finesse, the full-bodied palate doles out ripe black cherry, raspberry jam, licorice and tobacco framed in firm, velvety tannins.
...dark fruit, cherry, tobacco and sweet spice...shows very nicely, thanks to the balance of its fruit, and is characterized by a delicate sweet note that recalls cassis and wild raspberry.
...full-bodied, juicy red with ripe plums, dried cherries, cedar and a touch of milk chocolate. Dried roses and leather. Silky tannins and a long, focused finish.
...noted by soft floral aromas of black plum, lavender, and sweet licorice...palate is full and approachable, with ripe cherry fruit, cocoa powder, and dried herbs as well as velvety tannins.
Dark fruit flavors of plum and blackberry highlight this angular red, shaded by earth, tobacco and underbrush notes.
...boasts a beautiful blend of pure fruits and perfumed aromatics...dusty mix of wild strawberries, cherries, sage and cedar makes for an understated yet pretty display...medium in body, and the textures are creamy in feel, with a polished display of red and black fruits offset by a twang of sour citrus, as inner florals build toward the close...tannins here are sweet and nuanced...
Deep marasca cherry and cherry-liqueur nose with touches of sweet spice. Intense and concentrated sweet-sour cherry fruit with supple acidity. Quite rich and sweet yet balanced, if a tiny bit hot on the finish.
