Estimate
...wonderful length and focus with racy fine tannins that go on for minutes. Medium body with tension and beauty. Extremely long and linear.
...brilliant, inky-hued effort offering tons of minerality as well as full-bodied richness, ripe, building tannins, remarkable purity, and classic, unevolved aromatics of cassis, graphite, and crushed stone. It has loads of glycerin and baby fat, yet there's some rock-solid underlying structure...
...offers tons of intensity with all the brooding, tannic heft typical of eastern Oakville. Dark and somber, with tons of resonance...delivers plenty of richness....slight graininess in its tannins.
...lifted, herbal and tea-like on the nose, those elements are soon joined by cassis and cherries...medium to full-bodied on the palate, silky, elegant and complex...
