Estimate
Expressive, smoke- and spice-accented dark fruit preserve, potpourri and incense scents are complemented by hints of licorice and olive paste...densely packed blackberry, blueberry and spicecake flavors... Sneaky tannins give shape and solid grip to an impressively long, energetic finish...
This is a juicy and flavorful young wine with dusty and polished tannins. Lots of wild fruit and dark-berry and volcanic/salt undertones. Flavorful finish.
Raspberries and cherries lead the way in this full-bodied, velvety, lush offering, picking up subtle hints of baking spices on the long, silky finish.
...loads of black raspberry, toasted spiced, incense, and crushed rock aromatics. This flows to a ripe, sexy, medium to full-bodied Hermitage that has moderate tannins, a layered, beautifully pure, elegant, even charming texture, and a great finish.
Medicinal notes on the nose, dark chocolate and bitter cherry fruit, all bound up by high, drying tannin on the palate... Dense, impressive, monumental.
