Estimate
Cassis, black cherries, classy oak, white chocolate, and floral notes... This full-bodied beauty has a ripe, polished texture, great tannins, and a lengthy finish.
...aromas start out brooding, with notes of Red Vines candy, dark raspberry, herb and dark chocolate. Bright, vibrant, palate-coating, textured red fruit and barrel flavors follow. It shows a lovely sense of depth and intensity but still freshness, with a lingering finish capping it off.
Deliciously balanced...aromas of spiced black plum, blackberry, dark cherry with cinnamon and baking spices. Medium to full-bodied...expressive and balanced, with a mineral tension and firm tannic grip... The long, evolving finish emanates with flavors of dusty chocolate, roasted espresso bean and black cherry skin.
...aromas of black plum, dark berries, licorice pastille and milk chocolate, plus suggestions of mocha and underbrush... Easygoing, fine-grained Merlot with currant, plum, tobacco and subtle oak spice flavors... Spreads out more broadly in the mouth... Finishes with substantial fine-grained, dusty tannins, a touch of warmth and good milk-chocolatey length.
