Estimate
...aromas of cassis and blackberry fruits intermixed with loads of garrigue, ground pepper, earth, and licorice. It’s full-bodied and powerful, while staying light, weightless, and flawlessly balanced on the palate.
Full-bodied, rich, concentrated and velvety...stunning aromas of crushed stones, tea roses, black cherries and licorice. A powerhouse, loaded with extract, it finishes long and intense, picking up hints of chocolate and star anise.
...red and blue fruit preserves, exotic spices, incense and floral oils, along with a vibrant mineral quality... Alluringly sweet, seamless and broad on the palate, offering densely packed yet lithe raspberry, boysenberry and spicecake flavors that show remarkable clarity and back-end power. The mineral and floral components drive an extremely long, sweet finish that's given shape by smooth, well-knit tannins.
Decadent and richly extracted...luscious blackberry and cherry flavors. It's unctuous and weighty on the palate, edged by hints of crushed minerals, rose petals and char.
Bright and fresh, with a tasty core of raspberry and boysenberry coulis flavors lined with subtle anise and black tea notes. Shows a flash of apple wood on the finish, revealing latent depth and sneaky length.
Aromas of ripe, red plums meet dried, meadow flowers, strawberries and pastry. The tannins are suave, ripe and long, carrying plenty of deep, red plums. This really tests the limits of ripeness at the finish.
Compressed nose with savoury black fruit with some bitter flashes on the finish. Heavy going! Sticky tannic grip and dense, powerful fruit on the finish.
