Estimate
Focused, gritty, earthy and expressive, with a wash of licorice-accented black fruit playing against smoky paprika overtones. The finish embraces the tannins and runs with them.
Very plush, ripe and quite rich with aromas and flavors of blackberries and some inky nuances, as well as long and even tannins that deliver fluidity all the way into the long, smooth finish.
A pretty, elegant and focused effort...exhibits beautiful purity of fruit to go with notions of loamy soil, underbrush, smoked meat and classic minerality on the nose. Medium to full-bodied, balanced and fresh...
Pure, very primary aromas of blackberry, licorice, espresso and bitter chocolate lifted by a violet topnote. Juicy, sharply delineated and penetrating, with dark berry flavors complicated by saline and pepper notes. Boasts a firm spine of ripe acids and smooth tannins and finishes subtle and long, with no rough edges... All in finesse.
Perfumed field blossoms, herbs, and bark. An ethereal floral note lifts from a dark character and robust frame. Fine, dry tannins with a persistent, long finish.
