Estimate
...sensational perfume of currants, smoked meats, olives, spices, and crushed flowers. It’s a full-bodied, rounded, voluptuous beauty that has no hard edges, a flamboyant, sexy personality, and a great finish.
...terrific aromas of spring flowers, crème de cassis, blackberries, coffee and incense. Unctuously textured and dense with oodles of fruit and glycerin as well as a long, heady finish, this fabulous Syrah.
...the fruit is red-toned and quite pretty, with floral and spice overtones that add lift...but there is a sense of inner perfume and overall grace that gives the wine an attractive sense of lift.
A bouquet of spicy black pepper intoxicates on the opening of this wine, followed by captivating waves of savory blackberry, leather and dust... With well-integrated, unobtrusive oak, the wine is soft and delicious now, offering plenty of meaty undertones.
