Estimate
Aromas of cassis, blueberry, minerals and fruitcake are lifted by a violet topnote. Highly concentrated Cabernet with a plush texture and terrific depth to its dark berry, dark chocolate spice and licorice flavors; remains just this side of overripe. Finishes with big, fully supported tannins and slow-mounting length.
Sweet crème de cassis, black raspberry jam, crushed violets, and graphite characteristics flow to a full-bodied, voluptuous, sexy red that has awesome purity of fruit, fine, sweet tannin, and a great finish. It's gorgeous stuff.
...blackberry, black olive and spice flavors that add richness and polish to a finish that's dense with refined tannins.
...notes of luxurious barrel spice, black-cherry meats, high-cacao chocolate, blackberry, high-toned herb, crème de cassis, dried earth, coffee and graphite...palate is loaded with sweet cherry flavors...
