Estimate
...opens with provocative ferrous, crushed rocks and tar notes over a core of crème de cassis, redcurrant jelly and raspberry leaves with a hint of wild fungi...medium to full-bodied palate...jam-packed with pure black and red fruits, supported by firm, grainy tannins, finishing with uplifting mineral sparks.
...gorgeous... Crushed rocks, graphite, menthol, crème de cassis and spice...
A juicy, round-textured red with plum and berry character, as well chocolate and spice. Wet rock, too...full-bodied and layered with pretty fruit and a long, flavorful finish. Extremely polished and poised.
Ripe and vivid, with a lovely display of cassis, plum and anise flavors driving through nicely, while violet and graphite accents add range and length. A light bramble accent underscores it all, adding good energy. A really strong showing.
