Estimate
Deep, smoke- and spice-accented red and blue fruit qualities on the nose. Smooth and fleshy in texture, offering sappy black raspberry, cherry, boysenberry, vanilla and fruitcake flavors. A peppery flourish adds spicy cut to the long, smooth finish, which features well-knit tannins and building florality.
...mélange of cherry, licorice and scrubby Mediterranean herbs and spices is coated in a cola-driven sheen of polished oak...captures the juicy red fruit via lifted acidity and well-structured, savory tannins.
...herbal on the nose, blending those green shadings with tomato and red plum scents. In the mouth, it's medium to full-bodied and supple, but with firm acids and a crisp, mouthwatering finish that picks up cedary nuances.
A bold, plum and spice style with cedary oak and an unmistakably Australian edge. The palate has impressive depth and fresh red-plum flesh with firmish tannins, cradling ripe and zesty red plums.
Firm and savory, with good concentration to the toasted herb, cedar and cigar box notes that are muscular and taut. Notes of green tea, rosemary, loam and dried currant linger on the finish.
