Estimate
...intense, expansively oaked wine...powerful, concentrated and rigorous yet far from jammy or over-ripe, with impressive concentration and balance supported by granular tannins.
Saturated with black cherry, blackberry, iron, earth and subtle black pepper aromas and flavors...exudes power and confidence, backed by dense yet well-integrated tannins. The finish echoes the concentrated fruit and vibrant profile.
...smoky rocky note at first, opening up to dark-red fruit. Smells deep and rich...toasty spice and sweetness from the oak and the fruit. In the texture there’s finesse to the paper-fine tannins. And mouth-watering freshness...well shaped and long...contrast on the finish between fresh acidity and a very ripe dark-fruit aftertaste.
