Estimate
Cassis, plums, violets, lead pencil, and leafy herbs notes...loamy earth-like minerality, full-bodied richness, ripe tannins, and a great finish.
...opulent scents of crème de cassis, fruitcake and ripe, juicy plums, plus hints of Indian spices and dusty soil. Full-bodied, concentrated and decadently fruited with well-poised freshness and ripe tannins, it finishes long and spicy.
Red cherry jam, pomegranate, spice and new leather...
Blueberries and blackberries with hints of vanilla, cola and some cappuccino. Medium to full body with soft, layered tannins that are precise and focused. Fine finish.
Ripe but restrained in style, with a polished and persistent beam of pure cassis and plum reduction flavors. Anise and apple wood notes flirt along the edges, while a violet note hangs in the background, with a late tug of dark earth.
This wine is robust and ripe, brawny in style and approach. Thick layers of toffee, red and black cherry and earthy tobacco are buoyed by grippy, chewy tannins and substantial oak, the finish spicy and herbal in cardamom, clove and earth.
