Estimate
Inky dark fruit, chocolate, licorice, cloves and lavender infuse the 2018 with striking inner perfume and unctuousness... This is nicely done.
Aromas of blackberries, cassis, praline and dried leaves on the nose. Dark chocolate, too. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, integrated tannins. Creamy texture with fresh acidity.
...solid cassis and plum fruits, notes of violets, bay leaf, and forest, medium to full body, nicely integrated acidity, and a clean finish.
This accessible and affordable wine delivers rounded flavors of tobacco, clove and cedar. Moderate in length and tannin, the oak is integrated and adds power and spice to it all.
