Estimate
...dark and rich in the glass, displaying crushed cherries contrasted but also complemented by sour citrus with hints of dark chocolate and clove...soft and deeply textural, delivering masses of ripe red and black fruits that coat the entire palate, cleansed by brisk acids that leave nuances of sweet spice, licorice and bitter herbs toward the close.
...very dry red fruit, mushroom and brighter floral notes on the nose. Medium body with a tight bead of fruit as well as tight tannins that turn quite astringent by the end. But the fruit remains focused.
Creamy tannins are enmeshed with flavors of baked cherry, date, dried thyme and espresso crema in this well-knit medium- to full-bodied red. Floral, spice and tangy mineral notes play on the lingering finish.
