Estimate
...absolutely superb, wafting from the glass with a youthful but incipiently complex nose of ripe cherry, plum, dried rose petal and subtle forest floor.
This tightly wound red offers cherry, currant and cranberry flavors, shaded by spice and tea details. Built for the long haul, with dense tannins and a long, saturated, chalky finish.
...this is almost unctuously rich with seemingly buckets of sappy and palate coating dry extract which is just as well given how firm and powerful the supporting tannic spine is.
Pure but subdued aromas of medicinal cherry and smoky, spicy oak.
Very round and charming on the palate. Lots of polish and charm with the panoply of fruit almost disguising the tannins.
