Estimate
...bouquet of cherries, plum preserve, espresso roast, rich soil, dark chocolate and dried rose petals. On the palate, the wine is incredibly complete and multidimensional, with an ample chassis of fine-grained, chalky tannins, a bright line of acidity, and immense concentration and length.
A rich, fluid version, boasting black currant, black cherry, chocolate and spice flavors. Muscular and expressive, with mouthcoating tannins lining the finish.
A touch of musky reduction to the aromas of blackberry, dried flowers and wild, resiny herbs. Boasts lovely stony intensity but surprising pliancy and plumpness in the middle palate despite being a bit youthfully linear in the early going. Very classy, refined, ripe wine, and by far the silkiest on the finish of this collection.
