Estimate
...a Pauillac-like nose of smoky red and blue fruits, lead pencil, and tobacco. Medium to full-bodied, beautifully balanced, and concentrated...lots of velvety tannins, a stacked mid-palate, and a great finish.
...elements of cinnamon-spiced cherries, crème de cassis and plum reduction with a floral and dusty essence. Medium to full-bodied...ripe with a firm tannic edge while offering flavors of blackberry jus and a steady mineral-laced sensation across the mid-palate...glides to an elongated finish with lasting flavors of graphite, black plum and dusty flowers.
Attractive aromas of currants, baked raspberries, brambleberries, rosemary, black licorice and nutmeg...medium-to full-bodied...bright acidity. Structured, wild and racy. Flavorful finish.
Aromas of black currant, licorice, cocoa and spice are followed by action-packed dark-fruit flavors. This appellation's intensity, structure and freshness are there in abundance. Yum.
Taut and concentrated, with black currant, tobacco and dusky spice flavors that build toward grippy tannins.
