Estimate
Very graceful and surprisingly elegant... Showing beautiful mid-palate finesse and relatively ripe tannins...dances across the palate beautifully.
This well-crafted, supple, full-bodied red offers blueberry pie and black cherry notes, matched with milk chocolate and espresso flavors. Aromas of herb, violet and mineral echo on the long, tannic finish.
Intense, sweet dark-red fruit on the nose, sweet plum and cherry with a light smokiness...plush and rich and generous... Some peppery spice on the nose and palate and a bright freshness giving bite on the finish. Although the tannins are powerful, they are very fine-grained and the acidity balances the richness and powerful texture well. Long finish.
