Estimate
...tannins are as impressive and dense as the black fruits. Together they form a harmonious ensemble, richly structured, concentrated from the many old vines in the blend...
...charming and vibrant as the cassis, cherry preserve and blackberry paste flavors are, they have a latent saturated feel...sweet tobacco, floral and worn cedar accents.
Suave and sophisticated... Silky, polished tannins wrap around a core of inky dark red/purplish berry fruit... All the elements are so impeccably balanced... Rose petal, spice, blood orange and mint add brightness and perfume on the long, finely-knit finish.
...takes you down, deep down to its center palate of blackberries and blueberries, firm and very silky tannins and a vivid finish. Wonderful palate and depth in this with such class and finesse.
...focused, elegant style yet offers full-bodied richness and serious depth of fruit...notes of crème de cassis, graphite, lead pencil shavings, tobacco, and wet stone-like minerality. With building tannins, a fresh, focused texture, and a great finish...
...scents of stewed black plums, crème de cassis and Black Forest cake...medium to full-bodied palate delivers impactful black fruit preserves and exotic spice layers, framed by plush tannins and a lively backbone, finishing long and spicy.
