Estimate
Aromas of raspberry, redcurrant and tobacco leaf are lifted by a pungent pyrazine note. Concentrated, layered and suave, with its plum and redcurrant fruit flavors complicated by a meaty nuance and a restrained sweetness... Finishes with substantial dusty but well-integrated tannins and rising perfumed length.
...silky oak tones, mineral tension and aromas of soft red flower petals. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is clean and correct, with subtle red spices that linger through to the back of the mid-palate, displaying a soft tannic grip that holds onto the gumline. This is a fine quality wine, and it ends with a lingering flavor of dusty red plum and bitter dark chocolate on the finish.
Svelte and focused, featuring vibrant red currant flavors laced with fresh tarragon notes, building elegant complexity toward refined tannins.
The aromas draw you into the glass, with notes of dried herb, dark chocolate, cherry and cedar. Well-proportioned, slightly jammy red- and black-fruit flavors follow, supported by a lovely sense of structure and accented by plentiful barrel spices.
