Estimate
Baked black cherries and blueberries are shaded by leather, toast and spice in this rich, decadent Grenache. It's voluminous but not dense, expanding on the palate in creamy swirls.
...boasts a huge perfume of black raspberries, blackberries, dried flowers, bouquet garni, and sandy/loamy soil notes...powerful, concentrated, structured style, incredible purity of fruit, and tons of tannin on the finish...
Loaded with black cherries, cedar and vanilla, it's a full-bodied, plush sexpot of a wine. Velvety, intense, long and layered, this wine has it all.
Intense, with a gorgeous core of crushed plum, boysenberry and blackberry pâte de fruit flavors, inlaid liberally with fruit cake, licorice snap and graphite notes. Fruit pumps through the finish while a graphite edge lends support and a black tea hint checks in.
Powerful red and blue fruit, floral pastille, exotic spice and incense aromas pick up a smoky mineral nuance as the wine stretches out. Fleshy and expansive in the mouth, offering spice- and smoke-inflected raspberry, boysenberry, lavender pastille and succulent herb flavors and a touch of candied licorice. Finishes seamless, sweet and impressively long, with an echo of juicy red fruit and delicate tannins that add discreet grip.
Loads of upfront red fruit but then a relatively light palate, with a touch of acetic volatility giving this a certain rawness on the finish.
