Estimate
...unwind to blackberry and blueberry jam, lilac, white pepper and powdered sugar aromas...full-bodied palate is supple yet powerful with abundant, powdery tannins and youthfully concentrated, floral fruits refreshed by bright bursts of acidity. More detail emerges as it spends time in the glass, and it boasts an epically long finish. Beautiful!
...impressive density and darkness without veering anywhere near overripeness. Aromas of toasted blackberry, milk chocolate, violet and toasted wood entice the nose, drawing into a palate wrapped in chiseled tannins. Flavors are loaded with toasted walnut, espresso, chocolate cream and elegantly minty herb. The finish goes on forever.
...great nose of smoked black fruits, bacon fat, iron, peppery herbs, and graphite...full-bodied Syrah with a focused, dense, powerful mouthfeel, building tannins, remarkable purity, and a great sense of freshness.
...peppery and floral in the glass with black raspberry and crushed ashen stone aromas...racy and sleek with energizing acidity and depths of mineral-tinged red and black fruits...finishes with a staining of primary concentration offset by a flourish of citrus and violet florals, lingering long and spicy but only lightly tannic.
