Estimate
...dark berries, Asian spices, incense and candied flowers are sharpened by a zesty mineral quality and a hint of white pepper. Stains the palate with intense black raspberry and bitter cherry flavors that become sweeter and deeper...superb energy, focus and depth of fruit on the extremely long, spicy finish. Supple tannins build slowly and add shape...
...pretty bouquet, very pure with cranberry, wild strawberry and fig with a touch of honey and marmalade...medium-bodied with rounded tannin, dusky black fruit, well-judged acidity...good density...firm backbone with sufficient salinity on the finish...
...plum, violet and cassis along with plenty of the hallmark earth and briar characters...delicious and solidly intense medium weight flavors that possess fine mid-palate concentration before concluding in a robust, muscular and mouth coating finish...
