Estimate
...bold scents of crème de cassis, black cherry compote, black raspberries and dried mulberries with touches of garrigue, dried herbs and cigar box. Full-bodied, concentrated, taut and with lovely freshness...wonderfully fine-grained textured paving the long herb-sparked finish.
Sumptuous and inviting...pretty aromatics of clove and mocha, followed through on the dense, structured palate in black cherry and currant. Mountainous tannins wrap around an underlying softness and supple luxury, with a lasting bite of baking spice.
Lots of spice, sagebrush, purple iris, and blue fruits...classic, structured, full-bodied profile on the palate.
The blueberry and blackberry character is impressive and turns to black olives. Some cloves. Full-bodied, dense and polished and a fluid, juicy and broad-shouldered finish. Savory.
...dark, mysterious wine. Crushed rocks, sage, menthol, licorice, lavender and crème de cassis inform this inky, flamboyant Cabernet...tannins are present, but they are also very nicely balanced in the wine's fabric.
