Estimate
Aromas of black licorice, black berry and rust. Hot stone. Full body, layered and juicy with loads of fresh fruit and chewy tannins. Sexy, muscular cabernet with tone and focus.
...elegant and finessed, with aromas of bright red current, cedar, smoke, pencil lead, rose, bay leaf and baking spices. The medium-bodied palate offers tobacco and red berry flavors ensconced in ultrafine, leathery tannins. There's oak influence, but it is well integrated with the fruit.
...ripe and rich while still being svelte and medium-bodied. Baking spices and cedar appear on the nose... A creamy, slightly lactic note builds the mid-palate without adding excess weight, while hints of sage and bay leaf linger on the silky finish.
A bright mouthful of cherry, raspberry and currant flavors, full of energy and transparency to the notes of mineral, dried herb, toast, vanilla and dense espresso. Shows plenty of power on a velvety frame.
... There’s a lovely touch of spice on the nose to add to the leafy, pure cassis fragrance. And a light rocky note suggesting dryness. Dark and more savoury on the palate, super-fine tannins and very natural-tasting freshness. Long and elegant... Long mouth-watering finish.
