Estimate
...fresh, gorgeously focused, concentrated style to go with classic crème de cassis, blackcurrants, graphite and scorched earth. Focused, pure and long, with fine tannin, it's a sensational wine...
...intense black currants and plum preserves scents with underlying crushed mulberries, black cherries and blackberries plus hints of cedar, violets and vibrant spice/herb/earth accents. The palate is big, full-bodied, rich and packed with flavor layers, framed by firm grainy tannins and a lively acid line, finishing long and savory.
... Aromas of black currant, elderberry jam, crushed black rocks, loamy soil and light purple flowers lead into a plush palate that's very dry, extremely textural and well balanced. Flavors of black plum, dark berries and dark chocolate ride sticky tannins...
An ultrarich, deep and profound effort, packed with tiers of blackberry, currant and licorice flavors, jazzy, mocha-scented oak and a long, detailed finish...elegant and polished.
... A highly perfumed, complex bouquet evokes smoke-accented cherry preserve, cassis, vanilla, pipe tobacco, espresso aromas and a smoky Indian spice overtone. Sweet, concentrated and lively on the palate, offering concentrated dark fruit, floral pastille, chewing tobacco and fruitcake flavors... Seamless, focused and surprisingly lithe for its richness, finishing impressively long and spicy, with a building mineral nuance and fine-grained tannins lending gentle grip.
