Estimate
...huge, bombastic wine...burst of dark fruit, chocolate, new leather, spice and licorice saturates the palate.
...darker and earthier, with plenty of plum and currant fruits supported by classic tobacco, chocolate, and lead pencil notes. Incredibly classic Cabernet on the nose, it's medium to full-bodied, has beautiful depth of fruit, ripe tannins, and chalky, mineral-style on the palate.
Gently herbal, with shadings of thyme and sage laid atop black cherries and cassis... Medium to full-bodied, it's creamy-supple, tannic but ripe and long on the finish.
A solid, nicely grippy style, with a youthful core of black currant and blackberry reduction notes underscored by warm earth, tobacco and roasted apple wood. Reveals a good cast iron accent that helps drive the finish and gives this a slightly old-school feel.
Leafy character to the cherries and currants, together with cloves, licorice and some olives. It’s full-bodied with chewy yet polished tannins and a tannic, flavorful finish with slight bitterness.
