Estimate
...big, sexy nose of crème de cassis, mulberries, and blueberries that give way to more crème caramel, toasted spice, and violet aromas and flavors...rich, full-bodied wine, yet it's beautifully balanced, has a good sense of freshness, ripe tannins, and a great finish.
...scents of baked black cherries, boysenberries and mulberries leading to a core of crème de cassis, unsmoked cigars and new leather plus wafts of pencil lead and scorched earth...full-bodied palate, it has a firm, chewy texture and just enough freshness to support the earth-laced black fruits, finishing on a persistent mineral note.
Blueberry, blackcurrant jam, dark chocolate and roasted coffee on the nose, as well as dried herbs...full-bodied with firm, powdery tannins. Structured and chewy with rich chocolate and tobacco notes. Big wine.
Plush and deep...plenty of stuffing, the Cordes conveys plenty of mountain structure balance with succulent fruit. Dark cherry, plum, chocolate, licorice and pipe tobacco meld into the creamy finish.
