Estimate
...nose of crushed blackberries, black cherries and warm plum with touches of cedar, fragrant soil, camphor and baker's chocolate. Medium to full-bodied and laden with crunchy black fruits, it has firm frame of grainy tannins and a lively backbone, finishing with baking spice suggestions coming through.
Features a solid graphite spine running from start to finish, easily supporting the core of dense blueberry, black currant and blackberry puree flavors. Shows a dusting of tobacco and cocoa on the finish, with the fruit winning out easily.
...blackcurrants, graphite, violets, and damp earth, with a medium to full-bodied, beautifully textured, seamless style on the palate. I love its balance, its silky tannins, and outstanding purity of fruit.
Iron, smoke, red cherry jam and menthol, along with the wine's potent tannins, convey an impression of power.
