Estimate
...pronounced crème de cassis, baked cherries and warm blackberries notes with touches of garrigue, fertile loam, cedar chest and bay leaves...palate is full-bodied, firm and muscular with tons of tightly wound black fruit and earthy layers framed by ripe, grainy tannins and great freshness, finishing long and minerally.
Round-textured young red with a framed mouthfeel from the broad tannins. Full-bodied yet reserved and lightly austere. Flavorful finish. Uniform and textural. Savory at the end.
...dense, concentrated, powerful yet elegant style in its mineral-laced blue fruits, chocolate, and gravelly minerality...full body, present yet ripe tannins, terrific acidity, and perfect balance...
...superb and also the most polished wine in this range. Silky tannins, bright red cherry/plum fruit and striking inner perfume give the wine its refined, sensual personality. This is a terrific expression of Sleeping Lady.
