Estimate
Aromas of currant, dark berry and hint of sandalwood. Full body, with fine tannins and a bright and focused finish. Such balance and beauty.
Smooth, deep aromas of berry, spice, earth and minerals are rolled into a pure, harmonious whole...racy, clean and layered on the tongue, while oaky flavors of vanilla and cream are backed by ribald blackberry and cassis...elegant finish is potent and deep.
...floral and juicy, with notes of tobacco, notable complexity and plenty of tannins.
Shows good cut to the dark fig, dried blackberry and plum flavors, accented by smoky notes. Dense midpalate, with brooding hints of dried meat and paprika. Long and savory on the finish, well-balanced and filled with black licorice accents.
Complex, highly perfumed bouquet of ripe red and dark berries, pipe tobacco, cedar and floral oils... Shows excellent balance and clarity, offering intense black raspberry and bitter cherry flavors braced by juicy acidity and a spicy element. Smooth, sweet and focused on the finish, which lingers with superb persistence and only a whisper of fine-grained tannins.
