Estimate
…big and rich...dry and attractively tannic with lots of crushed-berry and terra-cotta character. It’s broad-shouldered and spread across the palate.
…notes of blue fruits, flowery incense, violets, and spice. Full-bodied, balanced, and elegant...great mid-palate, nicely integrated oak, and some chalky minerality on the finish.
...gorgeous. Inky dark fruit, licorice and lavender are given an extra savory kick… Racy and super-exotic… Red fruit flavors and floral notes lead into the textured, inviting finish.
...expressive Black Forest cake, blackberry pie and warm cassis notes with wafts of exotic spices, tree bark, underbrush and charcuterie with a touch of tapenade. Full-bodied, the palate has loads of earthy accents complementing the black fruit core, with a firm grip of chewy tannins, finishing on a mineral note.
Very forward, with warmed fig, steeped blackberry and açaí reduction aromas and flavors, supported by singed alder and espresso cream threads on the finish.
